These variables can be used everywhere in your project where variables are supported, including topics, headers, links, the TOC, scripts, macros and all HTML templates. See Using Variables for details.

All the date and time variables use the corresponding date and time formats set in the Windows configuration on the computer on which you are running Help & Manual.
