Date calculations
This is possible with the datenumber package
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{datenumber}
\begin{document}
\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{30}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 30 days is \datedate
\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{60}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 60 days is \datedate
\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{90}%
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}%
In 90 days is \datedate
\end{document}
Which results in:
See the advdate package.
Edit Six years later, I am finally getting around to adding an example. It does what the package says it does.
\AdvanceDate
Advances date the specified number of days [an argument in square brackets, defaulting to 1] and sets the result to\today
Two things to notice there:
To advance by 30 days, for instance, the syntax is
\AdvanceDate[30]
.The package effectively uses
\today
as a variable. Which means if you are recording several dates relative to today, you need to advance incrementally. If you want 30 days, then 60 days, you need to call\AdvanceDate[30]
twice.Of course, TeX's scoping rules are still in effect. So if you advance
\today
in a group, the changes end when the group ends. So if you make a table your increments are forgotten at the end of each cell.
Here is an example document, showing both of these:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{advdate}
\begin{document}
Today is: \today
Tomorrow is: \DayAfter
30 days from today is \AdvanceDate[30]\today.
60 days from today is \AdvanceDate[30]\today.
180 days from today is \AdvanceDate[120]\today.
\AdvanceDate[-180]
\bigskip
\begin{tabular}{|cc|}\hline
Relative description & Date \\\hline
today & \today \\
tomorrow & \DayAfter \\
30 days from today & \AdvanceDate[30]\today\\
60 days from today & \AdvanceDate[60]\today\\
180 days from today & \AdvanceDate[180]\today\\\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{document}
This is possible with the datetime2
package:
\documentclass[italian]{article}
\usepackage[calc,useregional]{datetime2}
\newcount\myct
\newcount\datecount
\newcommand{\myday}[1]{%
\DTMsavenow{mydate}
\DTMsaveddateoffsettojulianday{mydate}{#1}{\myct}
\DTMsavejulianday{mydate}{\number\myct}
\DTMusedate{mydate}
}
\begin{document}
\today~ is the day
In 10 days is \myday{10}
In 30 days is \myday{30}
In 90 days is \myday{90}
\end{document}
