FORMATTER_USAGE =

%q[

Format strings work just like the old ddate(1) program:

     If a format string is specified, the Discordian date will be printed in
     a format specified by the string. This mechanism works similarly to the
     format string mechanism of date(1), only almost completely differently.
     The fields are:

     %A     Full name of the day of the week (i.e., Sweetmorn)

     %a     Abbreviated name of the day of the week (i.e., SM)

     %B     Full name of the season (i.e., Chaos)

     %b     Abbreviated name of the season (i.e., Chs)

     %d     Ordinal number of day in season (i.e., 23)

     %e     Cardinal number of day in season (i.e., 23rd)

     %H     Name of current Holyday, if any

     %N     Magic  code  to prevent rest of format from being printed unless
            today is a Holyday.

     %n     Newline

     %t     Tab

     %X     Number of days remaining until X-Day. (Not valid if  the  SubGe-
            nius options are not compiled in.)

     %{

     %}     Used  to  enclose the part of the string which is to be replaced
            with the words "St. Tib’s Day" if the current day is  St.  Tib’s
            Day.

     %.     Try it and see.

Examples:

     % ddate
     Sweetmorn, Bureaucracy 42, 3161 YOLD

     % ddate +’Today is %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H’
     Today is Sweetmorn, the 42nd of Bureaucracy, 3161.

     % ddate +"It’s %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H" 1995 9 26
     It’s Prickle-Prickle, the 50th of Bureaucracy, 3161.
     Celebrate Bureflux

     % ddate +"Today’s %{%A, the %e of %B%}, %Y. %N%nCelebrate %H" 1996 2 29
     Today’s St. Tib’s Day, 3162.
