Usage
{{Current minute offset in time zone|time zone}}
where
- time zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to 0;
In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. -30, 45, etc.) can also be given;
This exact offset will then be used as the output (this functionality is merely included for template compatibility).
