Journal commands create Norwegian(?) date names about wiki.vim

Oh, sorry about that. The lack of complaints have made me forget about fixing this. I'll make it a priority to update this now!

I created a pull-request #22

Ok, I've pushed a first version. I think the updated docs should be easily understandable. Let me know what you think.

I'll look at the issue with the bad buffer filename. Could you give me the output when you do e.g. echo wiki#date#get_week('2019-03-13')? I suspect there might be something wrong here. If the output is strange, please next try date +%V -d 2019-03-13 in a terminal. Also, it would be interesting to see the output of date --version.

echo wiki#date#get_week('2019-03-13')
date: illegal time format

> date +%V -d 2019-03-13
date: illegal time format
usage: date [-jnRu] [-d dst] [-r seconds] [-t west] [-v[+|-]val[ymwdHMS]] ...
            [-f fmt date | [[[mm]dd]HH]MM[[cc]yy][.ss]] [+format]

date --version does not work, but in the manpage I see, that it is the BSD implementation (Macbook). On a Linux machine it works.

To get the weeknumber from a given date in BSD, apparently you have to use:

$ date -j -f '%Y-%m-%d' '2019-03-13' +%V
11

Which does not work on my Linux machine anymore...
(apparently others already had simmilar problems https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8747845/how-can-i-detect-bsd-vs-gnu-version-of-date-in-shell-script)

Sorry about the delay. I've tried to add the BSD syntax as a fallback. Let me know if it works.

[jounathaen]

Seems to work 👍

Hmm, unfortunately not.
Now wiki#date#get_week('2019-03-13') works, but when I open a journal entry outside of the current directory and call WikiJournalToWeek, it creates a file with the name journal/Use_wFailed conversion of "journal/2019-03-08'' using format "%Y-%m-%d''.wiki. It looks a bit as if the get_week() function is called with the filepath as argument.

When cd into the journal directory, open the journal in that directory and call WikiJournalToWeek, I get the following Error:

Error detected while processing function wiki#buffer#init[22]..<SNR>136_apply_template[8]..wiki#template#weekly_summary[7]..wiki#date#get_week_dates:

Ah, I assume it is because there are more calls to date. If you look in the function ...#get_week_dates you see it has 4 calls (two in each conditional block).

In general, the entire date.vim module has a strict dependency on the date util.

The following calls are made and works on Linux:

# In "get_day_of_week"
date +%u -d 2019-03-21

# In get_next_weekday
date +%F -d "2019-03-21 +1 day"

# In get_week_dates
date +%u -d 2019-03-21
date +%F -d "2019-03-21 n days"
date +"%V %u" -d 2019-03-21

Here I've inserted "2019-03-21" for the input date. The +%u should give the day of the week (1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday, and so on). So, it would help if I could get the corresponding date commands for BSD.
