+
+For example, building your site on June 24, 2017, with the following templating:
+
+```go-html-template
+<div>
+    <small>&copy; {{ now.Format "2006" }}</small>
+</div>
+```
+
+would produce the following:
+
+```html
+<div>
+    <small>&copy; 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.

+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.
