This file provides an additional `date' thing for `thing-at-point' function. Using: 1. Add (require 'date-at-point) to your elisp code. 2. Use (thing-at-point 'date). A default regexp (`date-at-point-regexp') is trying to match any possible date style, e.g.: "2014-12-31", "31.12.2014", "12/31/14", etc. If you find problems with the current regexp, please contact the maintainer.
