Oxygen XML Forum

I just finished updating the copyright year in all the front matter in my company's user manuals and I started wondering if there was a way to automatically insert the current year every time the docs are built. A quick google search didn't have any hacks jumping out of me right away.

Though I guess I could create a batch file to go through all the necessary files and update the year....but I'm still curious if I can add some sort of "current year" variable into the dita markup. I'm just coming back to DITA after being in the wiki world for a decade so I'm extremely rusty; my apologies.

Thanks in advance for any help/input!

Hello,

You can achieve this developing a customization using XSLT extension points from publishing templates. You can find mode details about this in our user manual:

The publishing templates examples (footer customizations) are available on GitHub:
