Ah right, my mistake. I’m used to DATEDIFF on other platforms meaning the interval between two dates, and misread.

You can find the difference between dates by subtracting one from the other, the same way you’d find the difference between two numbers. That’s why there’s no need for a function t…

Oh cool, that looks really interesting! I hadn't seen it before, but will definitely try it out. Thanks for sharing.

> By the way, the link to the Spell Right extension actually links to the AsciiDoc extension. D'oh! :) Thanks! I've fixed it.

I'm seeing that now too. Refreshing the page seems to make it load properly (for me, at least) so, while not ideal, at least there is a way to work around the problem.
