Missing space before timezone

[jamesmyatt]

From the example:

In [7]:
%watermark -u -n -t -z

Out[7]:

Should be a space before "UTC".

I think you are right! I think the UTC format itself doesn't use a space but for "UTC" in the string, there should be a space:

Source: https://www.utctime.net

[jamesmyatt]

I think "Z" is just a special code for "+0000": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Time_offsets_from_UTC

i.e. the UTC format has a "Z" at the end to indicate that it's UTC

[jamesmyatt]

Also, I think that https://www.utctime.net/ is right that there ought to be a comma after the weekday too. And also, international format is always day-month-year or year-month-day.

Finally, I think US format would require a comma between the day and year too.

To be honest, my preference out of all of the options shown on https://www.utctime.net/ for human readability, is RFC1123 (or RSS) best, because it has consistent use of short name and a 4 digit year.

If you're doing to use the long name for the time zone, then why not the long name for the weekday and the month too? Plus 4 digit years are mandatory in a post-y2k age.

To be honest, originally I made this without being aware of the different time zone formats, which is why it's no particular one. I like the RFC1123 best as well. It contains all the info in a readable order.

PS: There is a separate watermark option for the ISO format (-i, --iso8601). I think it is a good format for parsing purposes but not that readable.
