I have figured out how to place a date stamp on my PDFs (outside of the printable area bounded by crop marks) but I would ideally like to include the time of processing as well. I don't see anything like the plain TeX primitive \time (and when out of curiosity I tried '\the\time' this returned a mysterious number - today it is '691' - which doesn't seem relevant).
Use \currenttime, the following example shows also how to use the result of the \time command. \starttext Current time: \currenttime \blank At the moment \the\numexpr\time/60\relax\space hours and \the\numexpr\time;60\relax\space minutes have passed since midnight. \blank At the moment \the\time\space minutes have passed since midnight. \blank \calculatecurrenttime % set values for the time commands At the moment \currenthour\space hours, \currentminute\space minutes and \currentsecond\space seconds have passed since midnight. \stoptext Wolfgang
