date in footer

Hi

Is it possible to insert the current date into a generated pdf's footer?

Thanks

In Prince 8.0 beta this can be done rather indirectly by using JavaScript to edit the DOM and insert date text in a span that will be either captured using string-set or flowed directly to the footer. In the final release, due shortly, this will be easier. :)

Me too! Thanks for all the nice touches. We would only use for drafts but it will be handy.

The final release is out, with support for prince-script() that does indeed make this easier. :)
