using System;

namespace WebApplication2.TagHelpers {
  [HtmlTargetElement("date-tag-helper", TagStructure = TagStructure.NormalOrSelfClosing)]
  public class DateTagHelper: TagHelper {
    public string DateFormat {
      get;
      set;
    }
    public override void Process(TagHelperContext context, TagHelperOutput output) {
      string date = string.Format("<h1>{0}</h1>", DateTime.Now.ToString(this.DateFormat));

      output.PreContent.SetHtmlContent(date);
    }
