Details #

jd2time(x) takes exactly one argument, a Julian date, and returns unix time as a number with decimals.

Unix time is in seconds and independent of time zone. For example jd2time(2451545) is 946728000.

Takes 1 argument. {{ jd2time(text) }}

jd2time(2451545)

→ 946728000

jd2time(value)

→ 946728000

Sample variable	Value
`value`	`2451545`

Calling it with no argument or two arguments is an error: jd2time() takes 1 argument, got 2.
Anything that isn't a number is an error: jd2time() needs a number, got text. Numeric text such as "0.5" is accepted.
If the result isn't a finite number the step stops with jd2time() has no result for that number.
