Inserting a timestamp in content

support

Is there a way to insert a timestamp in content, that will capture the build date/time? I tried using {{ time.Now | timeFormat "15:04" }}, and it didn’t work.

Check the function name:

Maybe I didn’t explain myself well. I want to insert time in a post content. For example:

---
title: Test
date: 2025-05-23T14:23:58-04:00
---
This is a test. The time now is {{ time.Now | time.Format “15:04” }}.

It isn’t working for me, is that possible?

Create a shortcode:

Or an inline shortcode:
