Please add the new function names to keywords.txt, using a true tab as a separator between the keyword and the identifier: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/wiki/Arduino-IDE-1.5:-Library-specification#keywordstxt-format

Added new two methods to the keywords.txt

Hello, is it possible to add this possiblility ? in NTPClient.h /** * Return the date time from the epochtime value as a String with the given format (Ex: %Y/%m/%d %H:%M:%S) */ String getFormattedDateTime(const char* dateTimeFormat, time_t t) const;

in NTPClient.cpp String NTPClient::getFormattedDateTime(const char* dateTimeFormat, time_t t = 0) const { struct tm * ts; time_t rawTime = t ? t : this->getEpochTime(); ts = localtime(&rawTime); char buf[64]; strftime(buf, sizeof(buf), dateTimeFormat, ts); return String(buf); }

that may be useful

I think this is something more of a utility functions which NTPClient not directly involving. Passing epochtime from outside and getting it formatted is not part of a job in NTPClient.
