Add auto-create retrieval date into footer citation

[debpaul]

Feature or enhancement

Request: make it so we do not have the string [retrieval date] in footer citations. Instead, auto-generate date=today when page/s load.

Add a function to auto-generate today's date to appear in the footer of each page.

(So I guess this would have to be some setting in a config file setting?)

Adding to this issue:

Please include the true year in the citation as well, after the authors and before "Plecoptera Species File".

Done

Retrieval date was added, Thank you! But can you add year to the citation after the authors? So that it looks like the citation from the old website:

@lvhart2 @debpaul Is the year the same thing in both cases? For example, the first year is the year the cited thing was made available. For specific versions this could be fixed (if people use versions). This is different than the year the thing was accessed. Or is it?

that is how I cite my site: Dmitriev, et al. (2022 onward).
