Hi, In my frontmatter, I have added two fields, start_at and stop_at start_at: 08:00:00 stop_at: 12:00:00 In my template I would like to show the duration between stop_at and start_at I tried with {{ time .Params.stop_at "15:04:05" }} because I wanted to convert the string to a time but the par…

[image] time Converts a timestamp string into a `time.Time` structure. {{ $myTime1 := printf "2000-01-01T%s" "08:00:00" | time }} {{ $myTime2 := printf "2000-01-01T%s" "12:00:00" | time }} {{ $myTime2.Sub $myTime1 }} => 4h0m0s

[image] it-gro: {{ $myTime2.Sub $myTime1 }} Interesting! I wasn’t aware of that function (and many others in that family)… needs to be documented. I then found this online: https://gohugohq.com/howto/compare-date-strings-in-hugo/#calculations .

Package time Package time provides functionality for measuring and displaying time. HugoTemplateCodePlyGnd ( @kaushalmodi : not as good as your playground :slight_smile: )
