| <h2><a name="tstamp">Tstamp</a></h2> |
| <h3>Description</h3> |
| <p>Sets the DSTAMP, TSTAMP and TODAY properties in the current project. The |
| DSTAMP is in the "yyyymmdd" format, the TSTAMP is in the "hhmm" |
| format and TODAY is "month day year".</p> |
| <p>These properties can be used in the buildfile, for instance, to create |
| timestamped filenames or used to replace placeholder tags inside documents to |
| indicate, for example, the release date. The best place for this task is in your |
| initialization target.</p> |
