 * It is best is to use [[function:​TIME|TIME(Year,​ Month, Day, 12, 0, 0)]] which will give noon GMT time, and thus the same day in local time for pretty much everyone in the world (everyone with time zone differences strictly between -12 hours and +12 hours). * It is best is to use [[function:​TIME|TIME(Year,​ Month, Day, 12, 0, 0)]] which will give noon GMT time, and thus the same day in local time for pretty much everyone in the world (everyone with time zone differences strictly between -12 hours and +12 hours).
  
-So, if you use [[token:​ICUDateTimeFor|%ICUDateTimeFor%]] [[function:​TIME|TIME(2017,​ 1, 1 , 12, 0, 0)]] `%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%you will now get the expected result of `Sun, Jan 1, 2017`+So, if you use “%[[token:​ICUDateTimeFor|ICUDateTimeFor]]%[[function:​TIME|TIME(2017,​ 1, 1 , 12, 0, 0)]]%EEE, MMM d, yyyy%” you will now get the expected result of `Sun, Jan 1, 2017`
