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).

If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to the current minute of UTC+0 time; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. 30, 45, etc.) can also be given to get the current minute of UTC+00:offset time.
Standard Time (SDT) and Daylight Saving Time (DST) offsets from UTC in hours and minutes. For zones in which Daylight Saving is not observed, the DST offset shown in this table is a simple duplication of the SDT offset.

If no time zone is given or if the given time zone is not supported, then the output will default to the current hour of UTC+0 time; In this case, instead of giving a time zone, an offset (e.g. −3, 1, 5, etc.) can also be given to get the current hour of UTC+ offset time (which will not be adjusted according to DST);
