Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: How do I set default date format in Writer?

       Just curiously wondering how many seconds would be saved by not
merely typing the date into document  ;-)

       Robots taking over the world ... wow, what a scarey thought  ;-)

       me - ready to return to the horse 'n buggy era,

I wish too, have a configurable date format.  I inspected a document
created with the following ad-hoc date format:

        domingo, 1 de diciembre del 2013

The date is registered with the following local style, not available in the
style list.

  <number:date-style style:name="N106">
   <number:day-of-week number:style="long"/>
   <number:text>, </number:text>
   <number:day/>
   <number:text> de </number:text>
   <number:month number:style="long" number:textual="true"/>
   <number:text> del </number:text>
   <number:year number:style="long"/>
  </number:date-style>

The date field can't be saved in his fixed format as an automatic
replaceable string of characters.  I guess that the best approach is have a
macro that inserts the date with the desired format and this macro is run
when we create a paragraph with a style 'date', for instance.
