How to add last modified date to Title page

[donert]

I want to use " date: last-modified " to place the date on the title page, like I can with a PDF. It doesn't work. Is there another way to achieve same goal? (a dynamically generated date)

`

title: "my title " author: "my name " date: last-modified date-format: "[Last Updated on] MMMM DD YYYY" format: titlepage-pdf: documentclass: scrbook classoption: ["oneside", "open=any"] titlepage: "bg-image"

... Rest of content

Hi,

To change the elements on the title page, you use the titlepage-theme yaml: https://nmfs-opensci.github.io/quarto_titlepages/02-titlepages.html#title-page-element-customization

To add the date, you would add something like this, note the \\dateblock:

    titlepage-theme:
      elements: ["\\titleblock", "\\authorblock", "\\vfill", "\\dateblock", "\\vfil", "\\affiliationblock",  "\\logoblock", "\\footerblock"]

Here is a full yaml example:

---
title: A Sample Title - The SocioEconomic Aspects of Stock Assessments
subtitle: with non-English diacritics in the author names. See documentation.
date: last-modified
date-format: "[Last Updated on] MMMM DD YYYY"

  - name: Jane Doe
    affiliations:
      - name: Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
        address: 500 Lafayette Road Saint Paul, MN 55155
      - name: University of Minnesota
        department: Department of Mathematics
bibliography: references.bib

  titlepage-pdf:
    documentclass: scrbook
    classoption: ["oneside", "open=any"]

    titlepage: "bg-image"
    titlepage-theme:
