Formatting of fancy diary entries

Formatting of fancy diary entries

[Rafael Villarroel]

Say I have 

(add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)
(setq diary-list-include-blanks t)
in my .emacs

%%(diary-day-of-year)
%%(diary-phases-of-moon)
in my diary file

Then after M-x diary, I get the following in a separate buffer:

Wednesday, 21 April 2004
========================
Day 112 of 2004; 254 days remaining in the year

How could I get a blank line between ======================== and the
next line? How about getting some kind of separator between that and
some other stuff I would put in my diary file?

thanks in advance,

Use a line like

    &* * ============

But if you use the sorting hook, you will need to rewrite the sort to put the
line where you want it or it may get moved.

Sorry to bother you again, but how exactly do I use that? If the
contents of my diary file are:

&* * ============
%%(diary-day-of-year)
&* * ============ 
%%(diary-phases-of-moon)
&* * ============

after M-x diary I get exactly the same as if had not included the
&* * ============ lines, no new separators, no new blank lines.

Friday, 23 April 2004
=====================
Day 114 of 2004; 252 days remaining in the year

Does the following is correct ?

&%%(progn " ")
&%%(diary-day-of-year)
&%%(diary-phases-of-moon)
&%%(progn t) ---
