$categories_list = get_the_category_list( __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );

 

// Translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma.

$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( '', __( ', ', 'twentytwelve' ) );

 

$date = sprintf( '<a href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="bookmark"><time class="entry-date" datetime="%3$s">%4$s</time></a>',

esc_url( get_permalink() ),

esc_attr( get_the_time() ),

esc_attr( get_the_date( 'c' ) ),

esc_html( get_the_date() )

);

 

$author = sprintf( '<span class="author vcard"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author">%3$s</a></span>',

esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),

esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'twentytwelve' ), get_the_author() ) ),

get_the_author()

);

 

// Translators: 1 is category, 2 is tag, 3 is the date and 4 is the author's name.

if ( $tag_list ) {

$utility_text = __( 'This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s on %3$s<span class="by-author"> by %4$s</span>.', 'twentytwelve' );

} elseif ( $categories_list ) {

} else {
