`now` returns the current local time as a [`time.Time`](https://godoc.org/time#Time).
For example, building your site on June 24, 2017 with the following templating:
```html
<div class="copyright">
<small>&copy; {{ now.Format "2006"}}</small>
</div>
```
Which will produce the following:
```html
<div class="copyright">
<small>&copy; 2017</small>
</div>
```
The above example also uses the [`.Format` function](/functions/format), which page includes a full listing of date formatting using Golang's layout string.

Older Hugo themes may use the deprecated `.Now` (uppercase). Be sure to use the lowercase `.now` in your templating.
