Calendar package, somebody ? 26 years, 11 months

Holger Schauer

Hi there, folks ! Don't know if anybody has already addressed the following topic, I'm pretty new to this list. 1) Is there a maintainer for the calendar package ? (Oops, that seems to be a dangerous word these days ..) 2) Setting the calendar date-style to european, i.e., (setq calendar-date-display-form '((if dayname (concat dayname ", ")) day " " monthname " " year)) breaks `view-diary-entries', since normally day entries in the diary file don't have daynames: (defun … [View More]
