Time

The time can be displayed in one of many formats using the letter "h" or "H" to denote hours, the letter "m" to denote minutes, the letter "s" to denote seconds and the letter "t" to denote the time marker. The lowercase "h" denotes the 12 hour clock and uppercase "H" denotes the 24 hour clock. The "m" must be lowercase to denote minutes as opposed to Months. The "s" for seconds and "t" for the time marker string must also be lowercase.
