Formats a timestamp as a localized string or as relative text that auto-updates in the user's browser. This allows the server to cache HTML fragments containing dates and lets the browser choose how to localize the displayed time according to the user's preferences. Every visitor is served the same markup from the server's cache. When it reaches the browser, the custom relative-time JavaScript localizes the element's text into the local timezone and formatting. Dates are displayed before months, and a 24-hour clock is used, according to the user's browser settings. If the browser's JavaScript is disabled, the default text served in the cached markup is still displayed.
