-    <para>When parsing, systemd will accept a similar syntax, but expects no timezone specification, unless it is given
-    as the literal string <literal>UTC</literal> (for the UTC timezone), or is specified to be the locally configured
-    timezone, or the timezone name in the IANA timezone database format. The complete list of timezones
-    supported on your system can be obtained using the <literal>timedatectl list-timezones</literal>
-    (see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>timedatectl</refentrytitle><manvolnum>1</manvolnum></citerefentry>).
-    Using IANA format is recommended over local timezone names, as less prone to errors (eg: with local timezone it's possible to
-    specify daylight saving time in winter, while it's incorrect). The weekday specification is optional, but when
-    the weekday is specified, it must either be in the abbreviated (<literal>Wed</literal>) or non-abbreviated
-    (<literal>Wednesday</literal>) English language form (case does not matter), and is not subject to the locale
-    choice of the user.  Either the date, or the time part may be omitted, in which case the current date or 00:00:00,
-    respectively, is assumed. The seconds component of the time may also be omitted, in which case ":00" is
-    assumed. Year numbers may be specified in full or may be abbreviated (omitting the century).</para>
