[Tex/LaTex] Date format in LaTeX

datetimelanguages

I use UKenglish package. And the \date command produces the date like so: 10th October 2011. But I want just 10 October 2011; th should be omitted. How can this be done? I tried using datetime package. But couldn't eliminate th in the date.

The isodate package allows for various formatting of language-specific dates. The command \cleanlookdateon removes the ordinal numbering of the day and simply prints it as a numeric:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[UKenglish]{babel}% http://ctan.org/pkg/babel
\usepackage[UKenglish]{isodate}% http://ctan.org/pkg/isodate
\begin{document}
Original date format: \today \par
\cleanlookdateon% Remove ordinal day reference
Modified date format: \today
\end{document}

The comma as a separator is actually hardcoded into the various definitions of \formatdate, but you may use the etoolbox package to remove it.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[nodayofweek,level]{datetime}

\usepackage{etoolbox}
\patchcmd{\formatdate}{,}{}{}{}

\begin{document}

\today

\end{document}
