See [`time.Time`](https://godoc.org/time#Time).
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
For example, building your site on June 24, 2017, with the following templating:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
<div>
 | 
						||
    <small>© {{ now.Format "2006"}}</small>
 | 
						||
</div>
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
would produce the following:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
<div>
 | 
						||
    <small>© 2017</small>
 | 
						||
</div>
 | 
						||
```
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
The above example uses the [`.Format` function](/functions/format), which page includes a full listing of date formatting using Go's layout string.
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
{{% note %}}
 | 
						||
Older Hugo themes may still be using the obsolete Page’s `.Now` (uppercase with leading dot), which causes build error that looks like the following:
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
    ERROR ... Error while rendering "..." in "...": ...
 | 
						||
    executing "..." at <.Now.Format>:
 | 
						||
    can't evaluate field Now in type *hugolib.PageOutput
 | 
						||
 | 
						||
Be sure to use `now` (lowercase with _**no**_ leading dot) in your templating.
 | 
						||
{{% /note %}}
