I'd like to increment the date in the format

[Day of week] [Day] [Month] [Year]

by one each step, but I can't get the day of the week to increment. I've been looking at this answer but I can't get dow to advance properly.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[british]{babel} \usepackage[useregional,showdow]{datetime2}

\usepackage{advdate}

\usepackage{etoolbox}

\makeatletter \appto\FixDate{% \edef@dtm@currentyear{\the\year}% \edef@dtm@currentmonth{\the\month}% \edef@dtm@currentday{\the\day}% % \edef@dtm@currentdow{\the\dow}%?? } \makeatother

\begin{document}

\today

\AdvanceDate[1]

\today

\AdvanceDate[1]

\today

\AdvanceDate[1]

\today

\AdvanceDate[1]

\today

\end{document}

Here's an alternative approach using only datetime2:

enter image description here

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[british]{babel} \usepackage[useregional,showdow]{datetime2}

\NewDocumentCommand{\TODAY}{}{% \DTMifsaveddate{now}{}{\DTMsavenow{now}}% If "now" date doesn't exist, set it \DTMusedate{now}% Print date }

% Partly taken from https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/318012/5764 \newcount\daycount \NewDocumentCommand{\AdvanceTODAY}{ O{1} }{% \DTMsaveddateoffsettojulianday{now}{#1}\daycount% Identify Julian days \DTMsavejulianday{now}{\number\daycount}% Set new date }

\begin{document}

\TODAY

\AdvanceTODAY% Defaults to advance 1 day

\TODAY

\AdvanceTODAY[1]

\TODAY

\AdvanceTODAY[2]

\TODAY

\end{document}
