One drawback: some common metapost implementations +don't determine the month dynamically, but instead report the month +of compilation or the month of the last change to the code or something +like that. In that case, you must set theyear and themonth as indicated +below: + +To generate a year's worth: + mpost '\theyear:=2003; themonth:=-1; input calendar' + +To generate April 2003: + mpost '\theyear:=2003; themonth:=4; input calendar' + +Those command-lines assume a recent Unix installation. On your +machine, metapost might be called mp rather than mpost, and the +single-quotes might not be necessary. calendar requires your installation +to be configured to use the font pplr8r (Palatino). It is not +suitable for use with the CM fonts. + +I've included a few holidays, which I called brands for some reason +I don't recall. You can remove them or add more by setting the values +of the approriate element of the `brands' array. For instance: + + brands[7][4] := "Independance Day"; + +sets the US independance day, which is July 4. + +You are free to enhance this file or integrate it with other packages +if you like. If you do something splendid like adding support for +floating holidays, send them to me and I'll update the package on CTAN. |
