Documentation

Regexp marking the text after the time stamp.

M-x time-stamp (time-stamp) deletes the text between the first match of time-stamp-start and the following match of time-stamp-end, then writes the time stamp specified by time-stamp-format between them.

It may be more convenient to use time-stamp-pattern if you set more than one of time-stamp-line-limit, time-stamp-start, time-stamp-end, or time-stamp-format.

The end text normally starts on the same line as the start text ends, but if there are any newlines in time-stamp-format, the same number of newlines must separate the start and end. Thus M-x time-stamp (time-stamp) tries to not change the number of lines in the buffer; time-stamp-inserts-lines controls this behavior.

These variables are best changed with file-local variables. If you were to change time-stamp-line-limit, time-stamp-start, time-stamp-end, time-stamp-pattern, or time-stamp-inserts-lines in your init file, you would be incompatible with other people's files.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.16.

  "Regexp marking the text after the time stamp.
\\[time-stamp] deletes the text between the first match of `time-stamp-start'
and the following match of `time-stamp-end', then writes the
time stamp specified by `time-stamp-format' between them.

It may be more convenient to use `time-stamp-pattern' if you set more
than one of `time-stamp-line-limit', `time-stamp-start', `time-stamp-end',
or `time-stamp-format'.

The end text normally starts on the same line as the start text ends,
but if there are any newlines in `time-stamp-format', the same number
of newlines must separate the start and end.  Thus \\[time-stamp] tries
to not change the number of lines in the buffer; `time-stamp-inserts-lines'
controls this behavior.

These variables are best changed with file-local variables.
If you were to change `time-stamp-line-limit', `time-stamp-start',
`time-stamp-end', `time-stamp-pattern', or `time-stamp-inserts-lines' in
