Actually, event listings based on dates were one of the reasons why I added
conditional markup in the first place.  :-)

How about conditionals like this instead ...?

    (:if date 20051206-20051210 :)   display during Dec 6-9, 2005
    (:if date -20051206 :)   display before Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date 20051206- :)   display on or after Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date 20051206 :)    display only on Dec 6, 2005
    (:if ! date 20051206 :)   display *except* on Dec 6, 2005 
    (:if date 200512 :)      display during Dec 2005

Ah- you caught me.  I thought they already existed.  My suggestion would be
make the on or ...(before, after) more defined, like this:

    (:if date 20051206-20051210 :)   display during Dec 6-9, 2005
>   (:if date 20051206- :)   display after Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date -20051206 :)   display before Dec 6, 2005
>>  (:if date --20051206 :)  display on or before Dec 6, 2005
>>  (:if date 20051206-- :)  display on or after Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date 20051206 :)    display only on Dec 6, 2005
    (:if ! date 20051206 :)  display *except* on Dec 6, 2005 
    (:if date 200512 :)      display during Dec 2005

>> new
>  change

Anyone know enough about PHP's Date handling and PMWiki's Conditional
Directives to attempt this?  I'm still learning PHP and it's a bit out of my
range....
