Do not remove front matter.

Format a time.Time value based on Go's reference time:

Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006

Create a layout string using these components:

Description Valid components
Year "2006" "06"
Month "Jan" "January" "01" "1"
Day of the week "Mon" "Monday"
Day of the month "2" "_2" "02"
Day of the year "__2" "002"
Hour "15" "3" "03"
Minute "4" "04"
Second "5" "05"
AM/PM mark "PM"
Time zone offsets "-0700" "-07:00" "-07" "-070000" "-07:00:00"

Replace the sign in the layout string with a Z to print Z instead of an offset for the UTC zone.

Description Valid components
Time zone offsets "Z0700" "Z07:00" "Z07" "Z070000" "Z07:00:00"
{{ $t := "2023-01-27T23:44:58-08:00" }}
{{ $t = time.AsTime $t }}
{{ $t = $t.Format "Jan 02, 2006 3:04 PM Z07:00" }}

{{ $t }} → Jan 27, 2023 11:44 PM -08:00 

Strings such as PST and CET are not time zones. They are time zone abbreviations.

Strings such as -07:00 and +01:00 are not time zones. They are time zone offsets.

A time zone is a geographic area with the same local time. For example, the time zone abbreviated by PST and PDT (depending on Daylight Savings Time) is America/Los_Angeles.
