<p>Comment (by Roland Haas):</p>
<p>pdftex actually does have a pipe option: <a data-is-external-link="true" href="https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/20566" rel="nofollow">https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/20566</a> which would significantly simplify things:</p>
<div class="codehilite language-tex"><pre><span></span><span class="k">\begin</span><span class="nb">{</span>document<span class="nb">}</span>
<span class="k">\begingroup</span>
<span class="k">\catcode</span>`<span class="k">\%</span>=11 <span class="k">\input</span>|"git log --format=<span class="c">%ad --date=format:%Y-%m-%d -n 1 HEAD"</span>
<span class="k">\endgroup</span>
<span class="c">% foo bar</span>
<span class="k">\end</span><span class="nb">{</span>document<span class="nb">}</span>
</pre></div>
<p>but this syntax is also not known to htlatex (and also requires the <code>-enable-write18</code> command line option)</p>
