Current Date

The Current Date element inserts the current system date, optionally making it dynamic so that it updates whenever the template is viewed or produces output.

Adding a date

To add a date, use the Insert -> Date option in the Menus. A dialog appears with the following controls:

• Language: Use the drop-down to select which language the date should be displayed in.
• Update Automatically: Check to update the date automatically when the template is viewed or produces output. When this option is checked, a placeholder is inserted in the template and a script is created to update it automatically, otherwise a static text with the date is inserted.
• Available Formats: Select the date/time format in which to display the date.

Click OK to insert the date or Cancel to close the dialog.

Changing a date

Currently it is not possible to modify a date using the above dialog. To modify a date, either the date can be modified directly in the template (if it does not update automatically) or through the date script (if it does update automatically). To modify the script, double-click on the date script in the Scripts Pane.
