Example: Time Passed Since Last Modification

This very simple one-liner uses now.Unix to calculate the amount of time that has passed between the .LastMod for the current page and the last build of the current page.

{{< code file="time-passed.html" >}} {{ div (sub now.Unix .Lastmod.Unix) 86400 }} {{< /code >}}

Since both values are integers, they can be subtracted and then divided by the number of seconds in a day (i.e., 60 * 60 * 24 == 86400).

{{% note %}} Hugo's output is static. For the example above to be realistic, the site needs to be built every day. {{% /note %}}
