21.6 \today

The \today command produces today's date, in the format ‘month dd, yyyy’; for example, `July 4, 1976'. It uses the predefined counters \day, \month, and \year (see \day \month \year) to do this. It is not updated as the program runs.

The datetime package, among others, can produce a wide variety of other date formats.
