Sorry for the dump question, but what exactly is this macro good for? -- FlorianFesti 2003-10-07 07:56:50
it's good to display the date of a day relative to today. I haven't found something that does that. Please correct me if i'm wrong -- 1st-angel 2003-10-07 14:36:21
Yes, I got that. But I can't imagine a use for it.
I created a Wiki for my class in school where we write down the Homework we have to do. On this page i wrote a overview page where the Homework for the next 5 days are displayed.It looks like this
<date of today>
<homework for today>
<date of tomorrow>
<homework for tomorrow>
...
For this page I needed such a script because I don't want to change the page every day.
The Content is done via a MonthCalendar.

Does this work with the latest version? I am having issues... can't find the macro. 
The macro is useful for time tables, project plans and release dates; "version 1.2 will be released at DateOffset(+1)" or "Deadline: DateOffset(-1)"; like in the little [[tomorrow]] - macro:
