Description shew 2004-10-10 18:01:14 UTC 
Would it be possible to implemtent an additional format for inserting date 
fields into a document that would enable the dates to be formatted like 31st 
December 2004? (some way of adding the st, nd, rd, etc to the day number)
Comment 1 michael.ruess 2004-10-11 12:03:55 UTC 
Yes, it is... In the Insert.Field dalog click "additional formats..." in the
format list and in the now appearing dialog "Number format" enter a format like
D"st" MMM. YYYY in the "Format code" box.

Closed.
Comment 3 shew 2004-10-11 13:42:01 UTC 
That solution doesnt work - if you enter D"st" and the day of the month is say, 
2 you will get a date along the lines of "2st December 2004".
Comment 4 michael.ruess 2004-10-11 15:49:55 UTC 
reassigned to BH.
New Date Format is requested.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

This enhancement depends on language UI used.
In french, we just use 1st item with "1er" and no other.
2nd, 3rd, etc are not used in date format.
