how to get ISO date format in .sagews printed pdf

[Hal Snyder]

The Print button in an SMC worksheet produces great-looking pdfs. Suppose I want to customize the format, for example using an ISO 8601 date format in the title page. Is there a config file I can modify, or a hook for a file I can add? I've looked around a bit & didn't see the answer. Thank you.

It uses the script ~/.sagemathcloud/sagews2pdf.py

If you're comfortable with the command line terminal, you could copy
the above file to somewhere else, e.g.,

cd; cp ~/.sagemathcloud/sagews2pdf.py .

then edit it:

open sagews2pdf.py

and modify the generated latex document to use a different date. Finally, type

./sagews2pdf.py foo.sagews

to create the corresponding file foo.pdf.

If you copy sagews2pdf.py back, it will also just get used by default
when you print worksheets. However, if/when the project server is
restarted, then it might get overwritten (if I happen to have updated
it more recently).

cp sagews2pdf.py ~/.sagemathcloud/

As always, changes/improvements to sagews2pdf.py are encouraged. The
file is BSD licensed and has several contributors already.

Thank you. I hadn't noticed "open" to start editing a file in SMC.
