`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>© {{ now.Format "2006"}}</small>
|
|
</div>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Which will produce the following:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<div class="copyright">
|
|
<small>© 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.
