today's date on web page

[DavidJT]

I can hardly believe this but I cannot find a simple solution that doesn't
use a vey large piece of Java script - maybe you know a simple way to put
a date like this on a web page :

Thursday, January 12th 2017

There must be a simple HTML code somewhere - but where ?
Regards to all.
