Bug Tracker

I’m currently working on a major new version of the datatool package. This may take a while. Please be patient. (Experimental version available for testing.)

Version	1.5.2
Summary	spurious spaces in `\DTMsetregional`

Description

Hi,

I'm using the \DTMsetregional macro in a document to switch between numerical and text form (in French). However, each time this macro is used, two spaces are inserted. One come from the \DTMsetregional macro itself, the other from the \datefrench macro (called from \DTMsetregional in my setup).

The following patches fix the two issues:

And here is a minimal doc to test:

\documentclass[french]{article}

\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{datetime2}

\begin{document}

a\DTMsetregional[text]b\DTMdate{2016-12-12}c

\end{document}

The 'a' and 'b' letter should be nearby. Without the patches, two spaces are inserted.

Regards,
Vincent

Evaluation

The spurious space in \DTMsetregional has now been fixed in v1.5.6 (2020-03-02), so this I'm closing this bug report as fixed. The other issue isn't a bug in datetime2 but is a bug in a separately maintained regional module and so isn't covered by this bug tracker.

The problem with datetime2-french.ldf needs to be fixed by the maintainer of the datetime2-french. I have sent a notification to all maintainers of the regional datetime2 modules about the spurious space problem.
