The date header and date footer can contain date and time vars. More info on the available vars. If you want to get started quickly, use "%x" to format the date. The language which is used to format the date, is determined by the locale-setting in the template.

In the date header, the template variable <%%daylink%%> is allowed to insert a link to the archive for that day. Note the double '%'! It's necessary to avoid %d to be expanded as the current day of the month. Also, if you just want to add a '%' character somewhere, you should also put it twice ('%%') or it will be gone on your website.

Sample for date header:

<div class="day">
<h1>%d %B</h1>

Sample for date footer:

</div>

And another example for the date head using daylink

<div class="day">
<h1>%d %B</h1>
<a href="<%%daylink%%>">(archive)</a>
