diary-phases-of-moon output

[Dave Roe]

I have '%%(diary-phases-of-moon)' in my .diary.  On the days in which it is
triggered, that is also the output.  

It would be much better if it would tell me the actual phase (e.g., 'First
Quarter Moon 6:17pm (CDT)').  Is there away to do this without editing the
source?

I don't understand what you mean- this is exactly what it does. For
exampl,e the "phase of moon" in my "fancy diary display" is shown as:

,----[ Excerpt from Fancy Diary Display ]
| Tuesday, April 24, 2007

| First Quarter Moon 2:37am (EDT)

I don't get that output;  I just get '%%(diary-phases-of-moon)'.  However,
I'm not using the Fancy Diary Display hook.  Maybe that's my problem.

   %%(diary-phases-of-moon)

is what you have in your diary file? The  format is wrong, it should be:

   &%%(diary-phases-of-moon)

Indeed, without the fancy diary display it won't work.

Wrong--both forms are okay; the `&' means the entry will be non-marking in the
calendar window.
