Terry The Great:
This week AlexParker and a few months ago MichaelGiacomelli posted a description in the Wiki of all the tags to use for the WPS display. I ran some tests on the time and date tags they listed and I got these inconsistent results:

Tag     Description of output in the manual             The actual output that is displayed

%ce     Zero padded day of month from 1 to 31   Space padded to the left for digits 1 to 9

%ck     Hour from 0 to 23 (24 hour format)      Space padded to the left for digits 1 to 9

%cl     Hour from 1 to 12 (am/pm format)              Space padded to the left for digits 1 to 9

What is the reason for the space padding? If it were for alignment purposes then the user could simply use the existing alignment tags (%al, %ar, %ac). Or is it a bug? I would prefer that there not be any space padding.

Please respond to terrythegreat-1@hotmail.com

Stop addressing questions to random people on the forums.  I have no idea about the WPS tags, and I certainly can't answer your question, so there is no reason to ask me specifically.  Just ask your question, and if anyone knows, they'll answer.

I guess a workaround with %ss and a conditional could work for now.

Saratoga, perhaps you missed that the addressees are not random people. As the post says, they are the authors of the relevant info.
