If the input is an empty sequence, the result is an empty sequence.

Otherwise the input dateTime is adjusted to a dateTime in the civil timezone named in the second argument. This uses Olson timezone names, for example America/New_York or Europe/Paris. For example,

  • adjust-to-civil-time(xs:dateTime('2008-01-10T12:00:00Z', 'America/New_York') returns 2008-01-10T07:00:00-05:00
  • adjust-to-civil-time(xs:dateTime('2008-07-10T12:00:00Z', 'America/New_York') returns 2008-07-10T08:00:00-04:00
