Re: String with actual date (+ time)
Hi Paul, thanks for your quick answer ;-) The procedure you describe works well. But the format of the date string does not fit well with all my needs, because it is quite long. So I come to a more general question: Is it possible to invoke some linux command from inside LyX AND to get the output of that command in the text?
