So there is no timestamp and the {{{date}}} macro cannot do anything
with no information.

What I meant was: what does your #+date: line look like? Is it a single
time stamp? If it is not, all of the above would return the same thing.

Great.

I tried
{{{date()}}}
{{{date(%D)}}}
{{{date(%F)}}}
all produced "September 16, 2020".

Yes, {{{modification-time(%F)}}} works!
Thanks!

The documentation that you have in your post says that this works only
if the actual date given in the #+DATE directive is a single
timestamp. So, what did you specify there? If you give a time stamp,
like [2020-09-16 Wed], it works fine for me. If you have something
else, e.g. September 16, 2020, the format string is ignored.
In any case, you may wish to use the {{{time(FORMAT)}}} macro instead as
this does not depend on the date you have specified explicitly. And, in
practice, I actually use {{{modification-time(FORMAT)}}}. In both of
these cases, you need to specify the format.

{{{date()}}} works as does {{{date(%D)}}} in a sense,
only the format string doesn't seem to influence the
output, which is "September 16, 2020".
(info "(org) Macro replacement")
‘{{{date}}}’
‘{{{date(FORMAT)}}}’
This macro refers to the ‘#+DATE’ keyword. FORMAT is an optional
argument to the ‘{{{date}}}’ macro that will be used only if
‘#+DATE’ is a single timestamp. FORMAT should be a format string
understood by ‘format-time-string’.
(describe-function #'format-time-string)
[...]
%D is like "%m/%d/%y".
[...]
So it should work according to these parts of the
documentation...

Check out the info manual: [[info:org#Macro Replacement]]
but you should be able to use {{{date(%D)}}} to get the date.

Hm, date? Maybe that can be used to do a line like
the LaTeX's
Last modified: \today
or how would one do that?

MACRO seems to be the current means to expose these.
https://orgmode.org/manual/Macro-Replacement.html
| Org comes with following pre-defined macros:
|
| ‘{{{keyword(NAME)}}}’
| ‘{{{title}}}’
| ‘{{{author}}}’
| ‘{{{email}}}’
So you can use use, e.g. {{{author}}} in various places to get at data
from the header:

How can I use header data in the document? E.g., #+AUTHOR: Emanuel Berg [...] \author I wrote this! # only that doesn't work -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573 https://dataswamp.org/~incal
