Hello list, Org uses a timestamp format like the following across all its functionality: [2009-10-29 Thu 17:14] I would like to be able to ouput this string whenever I'd like to a buffer, with the current timestamp, this is useful for example to timestamp notes inside an org file arbitrarily: * [2009-10-29 Thu 17:14 Bla Bla Bla How could I do that? I searched for such function with apropos but couldn't find anything that fits. Thanks, Marcelo.
