supported.
+The `(remaining)` and `(duration)` specifiers support a subset of the
+strftime()-style formatting options, along with two extra qualifiers.
+The supported options are `%d`, `%H`, `%M` and `%S`, and by default each
+of these is zero-padded to two decimal places. To avoid the
+zero-padding, add `-` before the formatting option (for example, `%-d`).
+Additionally, the `E` option will display the total number of time units
+until the appointment, rather than showing the remaining number of time
+units modulo the next larger time unit. For example, an appointment in
+50 hours will show as 02:00 with the formatting string `%H:%M`, but will
+show 50:00 with the formatting string `%EH:%M`. Note that if you are
+combining the `-` and `E` options, the `-` must come first. The default
+format for the `(remaining)` specifier is `%EH:%M`.
