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.
