Submitted/published date format

[svdvonde]

Authors are provided metadata that is automatically inserted by the template. A part of this metadata includes the submitted/published dates. E.g.,

\paperdetails{
  submitted=2020-10-01,
  published=2022-02-15,
}

Given proper ISO dates, the template generates output such as:

Submitted: 1st October 2020 Published: 15th February 2022

This is different from the desired format requested by the publisher. They note:

• For the publication information Submitted and Published, the date should be used as Month Day, Year (for example: February 15, 2022).

What are your arguments to the \documentclass macro?

[svdvonde]

To the best of my knowledge I'm not using any exotic options.

\documentclass[crc,UKenglish]{programming}

[krono]

Please use plain english.

[svdvonde]

While this seems to solve the issue, it does not seem like a satisfactory solution going forward (there are differences between english and UKenglish regarding hyphenation). If the date must follow the specified format, it seems to be reasonable to generate the correct format rather than having it depend on the selected language.

A proposed solution can be found here. I can create a pull request if it is desirable.

I am not comfortable with chaning the language as given in the paper template

All hence published papers used the english option, including those by UK authors. I'd kindly ask you to use the option :)

[svdvonde]

In that case the author guidelines probably require a slight rephrasing to avoid future confusion.

All other options give in the \documentclass command are not processed directly by the class but rather passed on to other packages as “global options”. For example, the english option from the example above does not influence the programming class directly, but rather will be picked up by Babel [2] to set up language options.

(emphasis mine)

[krono]

Yes that is true. And We probably need a more general decision as to whether there is/should be a degree of freedom in the choice of language variant for the Journal as a whole.

Can you please follow up with a mail? you find my contact in the paper template :)
