[Tex/LaTex] How to insert 4 digit year that shows up in \today

datetime

Using the LaTeX command \today, I can insert the current date. Is there any way to insert the current year with a simple command? All I want is the simple 4 digit year that shows up in \today.

Best Answer

\the\year{}

Here \year represents a number and \the lets you output it as a text.

One can use \today to get the current date, the command \currenttime from datetime package to get the current time, and fancyhdr package to add it to every page.

See the datenumber and advdate packages (and the datetime package for formatting options).

Edit: Added small example, essentially stolen from the datenumber documentation.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{datenumber}

\begin{document}

\setdatetoday
\addtocounter{datenumber}{7}
\setdatebynumber{\thedatenumber}

Today is \today, 7 days from now it's \datedate.

\end{document}
