Capture current date and time and output to PDF

[txvia]

I am using XMetaL 6.0 SP1 on Windows 7.

I am trying to find out whether I can write a template to output current date and time to PDF when certain conditions are met. For example, whenever I specify “time” in the outputclass field of the element, I want the template to output current date and time to the area on PDF when it sees this outputclass value. Is there a way to do this? I am using RenderX to transform my PDF output.

Here is what I am potentially looking into doing:

 
     
        ………
        ………
       
          ……..
       
       
     
     
        ………
        ………
     
 

Here is a fragment of my DITA source file:

  Current date: {current date and time output here}

Thanks.
