17.2. Injecting the Current Date

To include the current date and/or time when generating your report, use the now variable. The variable is of type Date and can be formatted as described in the previous section. See some examples below:

{ m:now.format('dd-MMM hh:mm', 'DE') }
{ m:now.format(1, 'EN') }

Note:  If you have defined a variable called now, your variable shadows the predefined one.
