§ 4.159 - [tz] Built-In

Mnemonic aid: tz for TIME ZONE

 [tz]  Time functions:

• Returns the current date and time in a particular time zone, or...
• Returns the time in a specified time zone at GMT YYYYmmDDhhMM, or...
• Converts YYYYmmDDhhMM from one timezone to another, or...
• Converts HHmm on the current day from one timezone to another.

 [tz]  will also provide comma-separated lists of the available timezones when used this way:

In that case, if you set   n   to a positive value like 2 or 5, then  [tz]  will return an HTML-ready list with that many timezones per line.

If you set   n   to -1, you'll get a pure comma-separated list that is intended to use for further processing.
