.if n .RE
.sp
An optional date may be specified to indicate the intended start of the tracked time:
.sp
.if n .RS 4
.nf
.fam C
$ timew start 8am weekend \(aqHome & Garden\(aq
.fam
.fi
.if n .RE
.sp
If there is a previous open interval, it will be closed at the given start time.

Quotes are harmless if used unnecessarily.
