How can I insert a timestamp as "text" ?

[Tony K]

Assuming I am writing a Tiddler and I would like to add to it a timestamp, if I use the <<now>> the issue is that it will be evaluated everytime the tiddler is loaded 

How can I insert the current timestamp and then let it sit there and be static?

thank you

Riz button for the editor toolbar perhaps? https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tiddlywiki/UHt6GsMpyAQ/USFJxw68AQAJ

That would be a great feature for interstitial journaling.

Might have a surprise for you

I use riz's editor toolbar button all the time for this in text or I time stamp a field if I want it retained indefinitly. For example rather than tag something with done, timestamp a done field. If the done field exists has[done] it is done, but I also know the time and date it was done, even use it in sorts.
