Datestamp on Reports

[mcmurchy1917-gnucash at yahoo.co.uk]

In my customised Balance report called  balsheet-eg.eguile.scm

I have this code -

<br clear="both">
<center>
<p><?scm:d opt-extra-notes ?>
<p><?scm
(display (date->string (current-date) "Printed at ~d/~m/~Y ~H:~M:~S"))
?>
</center>
<?scm (if (not css?) (begin ?>
  </table> <!-- hack for GTKHTML -->
<?scm )) ?>

</body>
</html>

<?scm
) ; enclosing let
?>


Regards
