How to say "💝 Happy Valentine's Day 💝"

How to say "💝 Happy Valentine's Day 💝"

[Jean Louis]

Today I am sending to a list of girl friends information about the
Valentine's Day. It is a link to online description of what that day
is about.

I am using my RCD Template Interpolation System for Emacs: 
https://hyperscope.link/3/7/1/3/3/RCD-Template-Interpolation-System-for-Emacs.html

I am using it as a pre-processor for various markup languages and
simple text. 

And then insert something like this in the description of the link:

⟦ (if (string= (substring (rcd-iso-date) 5) "02-14") 
  "💝 Happy Valentine's Day 💝") ⟧



(defun rcd-iso-date ()
  (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d"))

Then if the day of today is (more or less) 2022-02-14 then the
function will look into "02-14" and if that is the case, the string
"💝 Happy Valentine's Day 💝" will appear in the message.

But if the day is not that one, nothing appears.

One can understand it better by watching this video:

Hah, that's your own system ...

Is https://hyperscope.link yet another one of your websites?

`when'

While I agree that is the best representation for a date, if
you check out date(1) you can read

  -I[FMT], --iso-8601[=FMT]
    output  date/time  in ISO 8601 format.  FMT='date' for date only
    (the default), 'hours', 'minutes', 'seconds', or 'ns'  for  date
    and    time    to    the    indicated    precision.     Example:
    2006-08-14T02:34:56-06:00

and that's the only specific reference to ISO. So I guess it
ain't ISO without the timestamp as well. Just saying, not
saying you should use it ...

Hm, what kind of site is this

  https://gnu.support

anyway?

A certain Mr. Jean Louis seems to be a prominent
contributor ...

And I hope I, by answering the way I did, contributed to
fulfilling the true purpose of your OP ...

It is.

I misread the man page for date(1), 'date -I' (I for ISO) or
equivalently 'date --iso-8601' _does_ output

  2022-02-16

while the mentioned "2006-08-14T02:34:56-06:00" is an example
what one can do with FMT, which is optional.

I suppose that example is there because that long/detailed
format can be useful in computer systems, not just the details
but also the form (no whitespace and always the same length
with the individual data items in specific fields almost, like
a packet specification in a network protocol ...).
