hi, I need help with how I would archive this … using the build-in Hugo features

I’m trying to get the current age of someone for example
john doe was born 1 January 1998
jane does was born 1 March 1899

how can i get current age using Hugo https://gohugo.io/functions/time/ and math

(today - birthday)/ (60s60m24h*365d) is an approximate year diff. You can probably work around the leap-years by taking the year difference divided by 4 rounded down and subtract that from the (today-birthday) calculation.

Unix returns the local Time corresponding to the given Unix time, sec seconds and nsec nanoseconds since January 1, 1970, UTC.

{{ $start := “2005-01-08” | time }}
{{ $diff := now.Sub $start }}
