@emph{corrected for daylight saving time}. @xref{Daylight Saving},
for how daylight saving time is determined.
+@vindex calendar-use-numeric-time-zones
+ If you want to display numerical time zones (like @samp{"+0100"})
+instead of symbolic time zones (like @samp{"CET"}), set the
+@code{calendar-use-numeric-time-zones} variable to non-@code{nil}.
+
As a user, you might find it convenient to set the calendar location
variables for your usual physical location in your @file{.emacs} file.
If you are a system administrator, you may want to set these variables
taken as a statement by the programmer that this should be indented
as a data list rather than as a piece of code.
+** Calendar
+
+*** New variable 'calendar-use-numeric-time-zones' to use numeric time zones.
+If non-nil, functions that display time zones (like the 'S' command in
+calendar mode that displays the sunrise time) will display time zones
+like "+0100" instead of "CET".
+
** Dired
*** New user option 'dired-mark-region' affects all Dired commands
