== Usage ==
* Copy and paste '''<nowiki>{{subst:Template:Digital clock and date}}</nowiki>''' to use this template.

* The clock '''must then be manually set''' to your local time, or another time of your choice, which is done per the following procedure:
:1. Refer to the '''[[List of UTC time offsets]]''' article and find your geographic location
:2. Edit the page where you have placed the clock, and where it states "offset=" within this template, enter the corresponding offset relative to your geographic location.
::*<u>For example</u>, to set the clock to the time in New York City, set the offset parameter to -4.
:3. If you live in an area where [[daylight saving time]] is observed, additional adjustments to the offset parameter may be necessary for the clock to match your time.
