Template:Hebrew calendar today in time zone/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Hebrew calendar today in time zone.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template gives the current date on the Hebrew calendar (Jewish calendar). It makes use of the template {{Current hour offset in time zone}}, so that it will show the proper date based on your chosen time zone. See below for the currently supported time zones.

Usage

Default

{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone}}

Without parameters, the template returns the Hebrew calendar date based on UTC (which is the server's time zone).

With time zone abbreviation

{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone|time_zone[|erev][|dst=no]}}

('[...]' means 'optional', do not include the square brackets when using this template)

where

time_zone is the desired time zone abbreviation (see below and also the list of time zone abbreviations);
erev is an optional parameter to force the Hebrew calendar date to advance at 18:00 (6:00 pm) local time. See below.
dst is an optional parameter to disable automatic daylight saving time adjustment by setting the value to "no";
If a DST variant of a particular time zone exists, then the time is automatically adjusted according to DST by default.

If the dst parameter is not used, the template uses {{Daylight saving in time zone}} to automatically adjust the offset according to daylight saving time (DST), if applicable.

With time offset

{{Hebrew calendar today in time zone|offset=offset[|2=erev]}}

offset is the time offset from UTC/GMT in hours; see map below. Non-integer offsets are valid. Template cannot accommodate DST when using offset. When offset is present, any time zone abbreviation is ignored.
erev is an optional parameter to force the Hebrew calendar date to advance at 18:00 (6:00 pm) local time. See below.

erev parameter: Hebrew dates begin the evening before

The MediaWiki software, and therefore this template, normally calculate date conversions using conventional midnight-to-midnight days. For example, this template would return the Hebrew calendar date 1 Elul 5773 for the entire Gregorian day of 7 August 2013.

However, Hebrew calendar dates actually run from sundown to sundown. Thus 1 Elul 5773 actually begins at sundown on 6 August, while 2 Elul begins at sundown on 7 August. To approximate this behavior, the parameter erev forces the template to advance the Hebrew calendar date at 18:00 (6:00 pm) in the time zone selected. Thus, at 6:00 pm on 7 August, the template would advance the Hebrew calendar date to 2 Elul. (The page might need to be purged.)

When the erev parameter is used alone, or when it used with the offset parameter, the erev parameter must be entered as 2=erev.
