Compare these for example...

http://lazarus-ccr.sourceforge.net/docs/rtl/
  vs
http://www.freepascal.org/docs-html/rtl/


Which one is newer?  fpdoc now supports a command line parameter
(--footer-date='yyyy-mm-dd') which allows the date the documentation
was generated on to be added to the footer. I would suggest this be
used for RTL, FCL and LCL documentation. This clearly indicates to the
user how old or new the documentation is.  I noticed that RTL and FCL
documentation hosted on www.freepascal.org already uses this.

I would suggest the ISO 8601 international date format (as shown
above) to prevent any confusion with dates.
Summary of ISO 8601  http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html
  cIntlDateTimeStor = 'yyyymmdd"T"hhmmss';    // for storage
  cIntlDateTimeDisp = 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss';  // for display
