Summary
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias in its handling of time zones and date/time formatting. Specifically, it references 'Microsoft Windows Default Time Zones' as the authoritative source for time zone names in functions like convertFromUtc, convertTimeZone, and convertToUtc. Additionally, all date/time format strings reference .NET and Windows-centric documentation, and examples use Windows time zone names (e.g., 'Pacific Standard Time'). There are no explicit Linux or IANA time zone references, nor guidance for non-Windows users. However, the documentation does not provide OS-specific command-line examples, nor does it rely on Windows-only tools or PowerShell syntax. The content is otherwise platform-neutral and focused on the Azure Logic Apps workflow language.
Recommendations
  • Clarify that time zone names are based on Windows conventions and provide guidance or a mapping for Linux/macOS users who may be familiar with IANA/Olson time zone names.
  • Include a note or table mapping common IANA time zone names to their Windows equivalents.
  • Reference cross-platform sources for time zone information, such as the IANA time zone database.
  • Explicitly state that .NET format strings are used, and provide links to cross-platform documentation where possible.
  • Add a brief section for Linux/macOS users explaining how to find the correct time zone name for use in these functions.
