* date(1): Forgot to update manpage date in r264968dumbbell2014-04-261-1/+1

* date(1): Add "-R" flag to use RFC 2822 date and time output formatdumbbell2014-04-261-2/+12
| | | | | | | As stated in the man page, this is equivalent to use "%a, %d %b %Y %T %z" as the output format while LC_TIME is set to the "C" locale. This is compatible with date(1) from the GNU core utilities.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | on March 31 won't take you to March 2 or 3 (now the result will be the last day of February.) In general, now stepping by months from the last days of the current month A will take you to the very last day of the target month B if B is shorter than A. The previous version would just step to March 31 and rely on mktime(3) to correct the date. Despite its simplicity, such way was counter-intuitive to users and caused pain to shell script writers.

| | | | | | | Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.
