Usage
- Copy and paste {{subst:Template:Digital clock and date}} 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.
- For example, 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.
