A clerk extension to append timestamps to your journal

Setup

Configuration

As of v0.0.3, clerk-timestamp supports the following configuration options.

• format specifies your timestamp format (used in datetime.strftime)
• prefix specifies the timestamp prefix
• suffix specifies the timestamp suffix

Add them to your clerk.conf config file, as show in this example:

[DEFAULT]
...

[hooks]
JOURNAL_OPENED=
    timestamp

[timestamp]
format=%%Y-%%m-%%d %%I:%%M:%%S %%p
prefix=
    [
suffix=] 

which results in a newline character, and square brackets around the timestamp in our specified format every time a journal is opened

# existing journal document <EOF>
