Usage Advice

Use when

• Use to fix the civil offset an event's wall-clock placement is read in — overriding the calendar default when an occurrence sits in a different zone.

Avoid when

• Avoid asserting two zones (it is functional — one per event) and avoid relying on it where the calendar default suffices; set it only when the event's offset differs from gmeow:calendarTimeZone.

How to use

• Point the event at one gmeow:TimeZone; it takes precedence over the containing calendar's gmeow:calendarTimeZone for that event's local-time rendering.

Examples

• ex:standupEvent gmeow:eventTimeZone ex:torontoZone.
