By the way … may I suggest a small addition to one <dd> in one help

{{document-date}}, and ended up a bit confused because of not knowing
quite enough. What threw me for awhile was not being reminded that the
<critdates> element is also available in a <prolog>.



*as-is*

{{document-date}}

The publication date of the document.

The value of the variable comes from the last created or revised element
found in the topicmeta/critdates or bookmeta/critdates element of the

*suggestion*

{{document-date}}

The publication date of the document.

The value comes from the last created or revised element found in the
critdates element, which can be in the <prolog> of a topic, the
<topicmeta> of a map or the <topicmeta> of a bookmap.




The current documentation is correct. Even if critdates is also found in topic/prolog, currently {{document-date}} cannot be determined by examining the prolog/critdates of a DITA *topic*, but only by examining the topicmeta/critdates or bookmeta/critdates of a DITA *map*.

When you convert a DITA topic, {{document-date}} is always the current date (that is, always today).
