The present year can be added to HTML using JavaScript. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Current Year Example</title>
    <script>
      var currentDate = new Date();
      var currentYear = currentDate.getFullYear();
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>&copy; Example Company | <%= currentYear %></p>
  </body>
</html>

In this example, the JavaScript code creates a new Date object to get the current date and then uses the getFullYear() method to extract the current year. This value is then inserted into the HTML page using server-side code (assuming you're using a templating language like ERB or EJS). The resulting output will display something like "© Example Company | 2021".
