Displaying today's date

#1

I would like to insert today;s date into a field. Found the following on Google Groups:

Using standard TW macro:

<<today>>
displays current date/time using system 'Locale' format

I can not find a macro today.

Any idea where it went?

now Macro

I recommend you read about the Core Macros

The <<today>> macro was used in TW Classic (v2.x.x)

For TW5, use https://tiddlywiki.com/#now%20Macro

I will chime in as well, the best format to set a field to now using a TiddlyWiki Standard serial date is;

<<now [UTC]YYYY0MM0DD0hh0ss0XXX>>

I have found a better solution for me, displaying the last modified date.

<$list filter="[!is[system]!has[draft.of]!sort[modified]limit[1]]">
<$link>
<$view field="modified" format="date" template="DD mmm YYYY at 0hh:0mm"/>
</$link>
</$list>

but will look at the now macro

I didn’t think about now, I looked for today.

Thinking about my use-case though, the last modified date is what I really need.
