Calendar script

From Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I decided not to spoil the first day of the new year by doing real work. I also wanted to get to know a bit more about lua...

The background: we produce a calendar with pictures of our kids every year. Of course, I wanted to do that with ConTeXt. There is a number of precooked scripts to produce various calendars for LaTeX, but nothing for ConTeXt, as far as I could see. So I decided to write something myself. I first did it in perl, with the Date::Calc module. Then, I tried to achieve the same result with a lua script. Without the convenience of a precooked date module, I had to do all the calculations of holidays and days of the week myself, taking my cues mostly from wikipedia, but it was relatively easy.

You invoke the script from the command line: lua calendar.lua XXXX, and it will produce a file kalenderXXXX.tex, where XXXX is a number between 1900 and 2299. This file can then be typeset with ConTeXt. The result will be a calendar for the year XXXX, with every month on one page; Sundays and German official holidays are in boldface; the first day of the week is Monday. The names of the months are in German, but that should be easy to modify. We have a simple version in black and white which we print on colored paper and into which real pictures are glued, and a digital version which we send to friends via e-mail where the pages of the typeset pdf have colored backgrounds and the pictures are included.

Neither the lua code nor the TeX code is particularly beautiful (hey, this was my first day with lua), but it may be interesting for someone out there.
