Announcing localtime, a #QuartoPub extension for displaying times in the reader's local timezone e.g.

{{< localtime 2026-03-09 20:30 UTC >}} will render as 2026-03-09 21:30 for someone in CET.

Has nice formatting options, and automatically accounts for daylight saving.

I once worked at a place which had their servers using localtime. They also named the servers after the datacenter they were in. They moved to another state, in another timezone. It was a nightmare.

windows defaults to using localtime in bios, linux defaults to using utc in bios. it's not not keeping track of time, linux just changed the bios clock to what it wants, and windows assumed it was still in localtime.

there's a registry key you can edit on windows to fix this

The chaos code behind the scenes, particularly like the part where I was in the wrong mode in vi and it repeated 0 six times. OCR text in alt text might be even more nonsense
while(1){ $localtime = localtime(); shour = localtime [1]; $minute = $localtime [2]; $second = $localtime [0]; // $hour = $minute = 12; $timeword = ($showhour?$hour: $minute); $Acommand = $Bcommand = Bit Bo echo $timeword. "\n"; for（$1=000000；$1<6；$1++）｛ 1f （$timeword & 1<<si）｛ $Acommand .= 6-$i; } else { $Bcommand•= 6-$i； ｝ scommand = "A{$Acommand}B{$Bcommand}\r\n"; echo $command; $nothing = talkToTheHand ($command, $expect) ; sleep (1); if (($hour == $minute) && ($second <59) ){ $nothing = talkToTheHand ("B123456i\r\n", $expect) ; sleep (1); ｝ $showhour = !$showhour; ｝ socket_ close ($socket) ; function talkToTheHand($in, $expect) {

I mean, that is basically what daylight savings does in my neck of the woods, but crudely with two shifts a year rather than continuously.

@sodiboo I killed my phone's automatic timezone shit, mostly because........................ it keeps assuming I want localtime. I do not, in fact, want localtime

This is why I don't really like being on UTC+0 localtime for half the year, because it makes these discrepancies impossible to spot, lol

For those interested in a comparison of the two different extensions and know when to use what.
Comparison infographic titled "localtime vs quarto-now — Two Quarto extensions, two different jobs." Two side-by-side cards summarise each extension: EllaKaye/localtime (blue) converts event times to the reader's local timezone in the browser using Lua, JavaScript, and client-side rendering, with the shortcode `{{< localtime 2026-04-01 15:00 CET >}}`; it works with HTML output only and requires Quarto >= 1.2.0. gadenbuie/quarto-now (orange) inserts the current render time or file last-modified date using Lua and server-side rendering, with shortcodes `{{< now >}}` and `{{< modified >}}`; it works with any output format and requires Quarto >= 1.4.0. A green "What they share" section notes both are Lua-based, support custom formatting, use Quarto shortcode syntax, and have zero open issues. A feature comparison table shows: both support custom date/time formatting; only localtime supports timezone conversion (50+ zones, DST) and locale-aware output via the browser Intl API; only quarto-now supports current render timestamp, file modification timestamp, and working without a browser; localtime has a JS-disabled fallback while quarto-now does not apply; cross-platform `modified` support is macOS/Linux only for quarto-now. A dark verdict box concludes: use localtime for event datetimes in readers' timezones (HTML output); use quarto-now for "rendered on" or "last modified" stamps (any output format); both can coexist in the same document.

Nice to see a shout out by @rfortherestofus.com for ‘localtime’, which was built primarily for use on our meet-ups page. Check it out in action there! (The preview image only shows UTC, but the webpage will show the correct time in your local timezone).
