Julien,

many thanks for proving me wrong!  This is great, especially if I have

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** current time
    :PROPERTIES:
    :CATEGORY: Now ——————►
    :END:
%%(jd:org-current-time)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and change your "Current time" string to "◄——————".  Now all I have to
do is get rid of the ":" put after the category string and I have a nice
symmetric time indicator!

(I'm using unicode/utf characters in case the dashes and arrow heads
don't come through)
