In this blog post, we will explore the different formats available in golang to capture the current server
date and time in the default.md file for an appropriate timestamp in any new posts created through hugo new posts\xyz.md.
Format in golang
Different settings and values/results
| Sl # | Configuration | Result |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | {{ now.Format “2006” }}-{{ now.Format “02” }}-{{ now.Format “01” }} | 2021-14-06 |
| 2 | {{ now.Format “2006-01-02 Mon” }} | 2021-06-14 Mon |

| 4 | {{ now.Format “15 04 05 PM IST” }} | 12 52 12 PM IST |
A combined value of my choice
The Format I have applied for my choice is : {{ now.Format "02 Jan 2006" }} | {{ now.Format "Mon" }} | {{ now.Format "15 04 05 PM IST" }}.
The Result is : 14 Jun 2021 | Mon | 12 52 12 PM IST
