Template:Time zone/utc dst offset
This template maps time zones to the UTC offset of their daylight saving time (DST), or of their standard time if the time zone observes the same year-round offset, from tz database. The output is formatted in "+HH:mm" or "−HH:mm", in plain text.
Usage
[edit source]{{Time zone/utc dst offset}} has one required positional parameter for timezone name from tz database. For example:
{{Time zone/utc dst offset|America/New_York}}→ −04:00{{Time zone/utc dst offset|Europe/Berlin}}→ +02:00{{Time zone/utc dst offset|Australia/Sydney}}→ +11:00
For time zones that do not observe DST, the results are the same as from {{Time zone/utc offset}}:
{{Time zone/utc dst offset|Pacific/Honolulu}}→ −10:00{{Time zone/utc dst offset|Asia/Singapore}}→ +08:00
For invalid timezone names:
{{Time zone/utc dst offset}}→ Time zone (null) is not in {{Tz/utc dst offset}}.{{Time zone/utc dst offset|}}→ Time zone is not in {{Tz/utc dst offset}}.{{Time zone/utc dst offset|No such TZ name}}→ Time zone No such TZ name is not in {{Tz/utc dst offset}}.

Note: neither {{Time zone/zone.tab cols wiki6}} nor {{Time zone/zone.tab cols linked}} can currently be used for the full table in List of tz database time zones because of performance limitations in processing such a long table. They can, however, be used for a small number of rows in individual area articles. |
