4.5 Time of day
===============

TeX provides the day, month, and year as numeric quantities (unless your
TeX implementation is woefully deficient). Eplain provides some control
sequences to make them a little more friendly to humans.

   '\monthname' produces the name of the current month, abbreviated to
three letters.

   '\fullmonthname' produces the name of the current month,
unabbreviated (in English).

   '\timestring' produces the current time, as in '1:14 p.m.'

   '\timestamp' produces the current date and time, as in '23 Apr 64
1:14 p.m.'. (Except the spacing is slightly different.)

   '\today' produces the current date, as in '23 April 1964'.
