Visualforce: How do I print the Current Date?

Question

How do I print the current date on Visualforce?

Stuff like Today(), System.now, doesn't work.

Haven't been able to find any documentation or stackoverflow questions regarding this subject.

You need to create a property in your controller like:

public Date Today { get { return Date.today(); }}

When you're using the VF page, use the following piece of code:

<apex:outputText value="{0,date}">

    <apex:param value="{!Today}" />

</apex:outputText>
