<title>Insert date/time</title>

  <p>As this name of this plugin suggests, the <gui>Insert Date/Time</gui>
  plugin allows you to insert the date and/or time at the current cursor
  position. To enable this plugin, select <guiseq><gui style="menu">gedit</gui>
  <gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui><gui>Plugins</gui>
  <gui>Insert Date/Time</gui></guiseq>. To use the plugin, press <guiseq>
  <gui style="menu">Edit</gui><gui>Insert Date and Time</gui></guiseq>.</p>

  <p>By default, the <gui>Insert Date/Time</gui> plugin will prompt you to
  choose your preferred date/time format each time that you use the plugin.
  However, you can choose your own default date and time format by selecting
  <guiseq><gui style="menu">gedit</gui><gui style="menuitem">Preferences</gui>
  <gui>Plugins</gui><gui>Insert Date/Time</gui><gui>Configure</gui></guiseq>.
