In latex, the command \today displays today's date.
Consider that I write something like: Updated news: \today. It appears like
Updated news: Saturday, October 24, 2015
After a while, when I recompile the document, say 4 days later, it will say
Updated news: Thursday, October 29, 2015
at the very same line. Is there a way to make a \today static? In other words, I'd like my document like a blog. When I insert a date, I want that date to stay.
How can I do this?
\todayit prints today's date. If you want a static date, issue it explicitly. You can get different formats with the help of thedatetime2package. – egreg Oct 24 '15 at 13:20
