Now() inserts the current date and/or time into the document. It can be formatted in the same way as FormatDate.
Command structure:
«Now("d MMMM, yyyy")»
Examples of usage:
«Now("d MMMM, yyyy")» yields “2 September, 2020”«Now("MMMM o yyyy")» yields ‘September 2nd 2020’«Now("yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss.fff")» yields ‘2020/09/02 17:05:23.010’ which is exactly the same as «Now()»
A twelve-hour time with AM or PM is achieved by:
«Now("yyyy/MM/dd hh:mm:ss.fff tt")»
which yields the above time as ‘2020/09/02 05:05:23.010 PM’.
The date can be rendered in a different language:
«Now("d MMMM, yyyy", "fr")»
On 1st January 2021 this would yield ‘1 janvier, 2021’.
On 1st January 2008 this would yield ‘1 Januarie, 2008’.
Note:
The value inserted into the assembled document is the date/time on which the template was run. This value will not be updated if that assembled document is re-opened on a subsequent date.
