Description

This macro allows to display the current time and/or date in a user-defined format.

Code

To display the current date in the standard format (f.e. 2008/3/17 16:17), you can use the following snippet:

{date}{date}

If you need a custom format, you can define it inside the macro body:

{date}%Y{date}

will display the current year:

You can even add your own text inside the date-macro-body (just remember - whenever you want to display a date-variable, prefix it with a percent-character and the macro will take care of the rest).

{date}Today is the %Dth{date}

Here's a short listing of all available variables that can be used inside the macro body:

• %Y – Year (f.e. 2008)
• %D – Day (f.e. 31)
• %M – Month (f.e. 12)
• %m – Minutes (f.e. 59)
• %h – Hours (f.e. 23)
• %L – a complete date string (depending on the localization settings of your browser, f.e. March 17, 2008)
