Hi there!
I had the problem that my holidays as a student aren't just
specific days, but spans of days, e.g. spring break and similar.
Currently, calendar/holidays.el doesn't offer a way to define
something like that. The following function adds that
functionality:
(defun holiday-block (m1 d1 y1 m2 d2 y2 descr)
"Return a list of ((month day year) string) of visible holidays from
the span M1/D1/Y1 to M2/D2/Y2."
(let ((start (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (list m1 d1 y1)))
(end (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (list m2 d2 y2)))
(lis '()))
(while (<= start end)
(setq lis (cons (list (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute end)
descr)
lis))
(setq end (- end 1)))
(filter-visible-calendar-holidays lis)))
It is used just as you might think:
(setq calendar-holidays
'((holiday-block 2 8 2003 4 6 2003 "Vorlesungsfreie Zeit")
...))
I hope you find it useful.
Greetings,
-- Jorgen
