Examples

Firstly, include the getDateTime.gp recipe by calling <-- _GP_ recipe("$root/include/getDateTime.gp") --> somewhere in the content, that can be either in one of the content files or in the template file.

Every time the getDateTime($inputfile, aFormat, aLanguage) statement is found, genpage will format the modification date and/or time of the source file and insert it into the generated file.

Here are some possible formats:

"WD MM DD hh:mm:ss YYYY" -> Wed Sep 29 16:14:17 1999 (default format)

"DD/SM/YYYY" -> 29/9/1999

"Last Modified on LWD LM DD, YYYY" -> Last Modified on Wednesday September 29, 1999

"Dernière modification le LWD DD LM YYYY", "FR" -> Dernière modification le mercredi 29 septembre 1999
