    All above params are in terms of server local standard time (not including DLST).

    Some examples:

    "May 1 02:00"
    transition at 02:00 of May,1

    "Apr Last Sun 03:00 "
    transition at Last sunday of April at 03:00

    More complicated example: Exactly as it's shown at the top of the page

    "[HOUR]:[MIN]:[SEC] [AMPM]  [NAME]\n
        [WDAY], [MONTH],[DATE] [YEAR]\n
              You opened this page at\n
        [SHOUR]:[SMIN]:[SSEC] [SAMPM]\n
              [EMIN]min [ESEC]sec ago"

    Hope, now you see that format is quite flexible to create any clock you like, Just write any strings you would like to see and place following keywords instead of actual date elements.

    Current time fields keywords are:

    [HOUR]
    [MIN]
    [SEC]
    [WDAY]
    [MONTH]
    [DATE]
    [YEAR]
    [NAME]
    [AMPM]

    Applet start time fields :
    in case one would like to use applet to show page loading timestamp.

    [SHOUR]
    [SMIN]
    [SSEC]
    [SWDAY]
    [SMONTH]
    [SDATE]
    [SYEAR]
    [SNAME]
    [SAMPM]

    Elapsed time fields:
    In case one would like to show visitors how much time they spend at your page.

    [EHOUR]
    [EMIN]
    [ESEC]
