The following is a list of tokens you can use for valirous FunnelMerlin tricks. For most of them you create a token by using a percent sign (%) immediately following by a letter from below. Note for certain tricks, it allows for retrievivng more than one timezone by specifying a specific prefix character, and for those you use that character instead (ie. ~T instead of %T not %~T). Characters ARE case sensitive.
