*put_date.txt* For Vim version 7.0 Last change: 2020 May 31
DESCRIPTION *put_date*
This plugin provides a convenience wrapper around `strftime()` to insert the
current date and time in the buffer, defaulting to RFC2822 format, and
requiring neither percent signs nor quoting for any specified format.

An attempt to use the UTC time zone rather than the local time zone is made if
a bang is added:

This time zone switching only works reliably on Unix with Vim v8.2, or Vim 8.1
with patch 1567:
REQUIREMENTS *put_date-requirements*
This plugin only loads if 'compatible' is not set. Strictly speaking, it also
depends on the underlying system's implementation of the POSIX `strftime(3)`
function, just as Vim's own |strftime()| does. It will not behave identically
between systems.
In particular, the time zone switching only works reliably on Unix, and it's
broken there between patches 8.1.1313 and 8.1.1567. See |version8.txt| for
details. At the time of writing, it's still broken on Windows since 8.1.1313.
