== Modified Calendar Processor ==

OK, here is a first cut at a Calendar which pushes wiki text out with markup for table formatting.  It works passably well as a first attempt (for a python novice). [[attachment:Calendar.py]]

Input format is as the previous form, except that anything within the input line will be treated as normal wiki input - so links and markup can be added, within the constraint of a single line of input text.

Issues:-
 * The Month/Year title looks a little silly since the font is the same size as the rest - theres no way to get a larger header font that I can see at present.
 * Adding conflicting markup into the entries is likely to have exciting results - for example add a `||` into a line.
 * Long links (and unwrappable text) will do strange things to the table layout
 * The height of table cells is purely set by the content - this means that the calendar looks very ragged, and empty rows are the same height has the caption rows, which looks wrong.

Comments and suggestions gratefully received.

==== Future Plans/Ideas ====

 * Add an `OPTION` to take calendar data from an attachment file
 * Add `OPTION`s to restrict start and end date of calendar - with the above allows a single (or maybe multiple) attchment calendar sources to be spat out as (say) 1 month calendars for different windows on the overall period.
 * Add `OPTION` to list the events in the calendar
 * Add `OPTION` to hide calendar (ie if you had list you could drop the calendar)
 * Add `OPTION` to do (maybe multiple) small calendars without text content, but marking used days - again you would use it with the list option.  Crossing over to the MonthCalendar stuff in some respects, although this is more table driven.

==== Comments ====

One of the things i like about the MonthCalendar is that each event is a sub-page. I see that you are really talking about the Calendar macro, not the Month Cal, but i'd love to see output like this from the MonthCalendar! JosYule

You could use [[https://moin.conectiva.com.br/DateUtil|DateUtil]] by Gustavo Niemeyer to generalise the date input format.

==== Sample Input ====
{{{#!Calendar
OPTION:bodyBGColor=#DDDDDD
OPTION:captionBGColor=#CCCCFF
OPTION:firstWeekDay=6
20040707: Calendar 1.0 released
20040701: First of the month
20040731: End of the month
20040730: Link to FrontPage
}}}
