    Add @-codes to display dates/times in UTC

    When the system time zone is not UTC, but the sysop wants to display some
    dates and times in UTC, they can now use these @-codes to do that:
    - TIME_UTC
    - DATE_UTC
    - UTC:fmt
    - DATETIME_UTC
    - MSG_DATE_UTC

    Hello Rob Swindell (On Windows,

    On Thu, Dec 19 2024 20:15:35 -0600, you wrote ..

    - UTC:fmt

    Does this one here mean you can now do:

    (at)UTC:%a, %b %d %Y %H:%M:%S %z

    .. or something similar?

    Regards,

    Kind of. You can't have spaces in @-codes, so you'd need to use \x20 in place of space. And you'd need a terminating (at).

    It's just like the TIME:fmt @-code, but instead of local time, it's UTC. https://wiki.synchro.net/custom:atcodes

    Thanks for the explanation!

    All relevant information is indeed on the wiki (thanks for that, too!), but your explanation here made it far easier for me to find it all on the wiki and put it together (I had to scroll from the top to the bottom to find all the pieces you mentioned in this message).
