I'd like add an extra line in the footer showing the publish date (pubdate) in a smaller font.

The current footer template is this (it shows up to two authors):

program:
# Show at most two authors, on separate lines.
authors = field('authors');
num = count(authors, ' & ');
authors = sublist(authors, 0, 2, ' & ');
authors = list_re(authors, ' &amp; ', '(.+)', '<b>\1');
authors = re(authors, ' &amp; ', '<br>');
re(authors, '&amp;&amp;', '&amp;')

What code would I have to add? Thanks for any help.

I haven't tested this in the cover generator but something like it should be close.

program:
# Show at most two authors on separate lines. followed by the pubdate
	authors = sublist($authors, 0, 2, ' & ');
	authors = re(authors, ' & ', '<br>');
	strcat(authors, '<br><small>', $pubdate, '</small>')
