 We also introduce with Handlebars formatting the notion of helpers. Helper functions (discussed in the Handlebars documentation [here](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/builtin-helpers.html)), allow a user to invoke a function with arguments and produce a result in the template.
 Aerie defines 4 helpers for use in templates. User-defined helpers are not yet supported, so only these 4 are available at the moment.
 
+Template helpers for times output according to the configured language. The time formats for the supported languages are:
+
+| Language | Format                          |
+| :------- | :------------------------------ |
+| STOL     | `YYYY-ddd/HH:MM:SS[.sss]`       |
+| SeqN     | `YYYY-dddTHH:MM:SS[.sss[sss]]`  |
+| Text     | `YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS[.ssssss]Z` |

 ### `add-time`
 
-This helper allows a user to compute a new time string (that is either STOL or SeqN compatible) from an existing one, and a duration to be added to that time. For example:
