## Description

A shortcode to display the current year, for example in the footer section.
 When
using this shortcode you don’t have to manually update the year on your website,
when a new year begins.

Just add the shortcode where you need it, within the text. Don’t forget to use the[]
brackets.

**[vict_year] displays the current year**

Doet wat het moet doen! Het laat het huidige jaartal zien, en je kan de shortcode
bewerken in je eigen stijl waardoor het jaartal veranderd met de opmaak.

Doet precies wat er staat. Geen extra opties etc. Laat gewoon het huidige jaar zien,
waar je de shortcode hebt geplaatst.

Works like it should. Simple and clear. Only shows the current year, using a shortcode.
Noting more, nothing less.
