In-Reply-To: Message from Matt Hodges <MPHodges@member.fsf.org> "of Tue, 30 Nov 2004 15:07:54 GMT." <873byr5q9h.fsf@molpro.net>
All of these comments are on the money! Will somebody fix the .texi files?
> I've read through man/calendar.texi and have some comments.

> (1) The documentation of calendar-week-start-day doesn't mention that
> if this variable is changed, redraw-calendar needs calling for the
> effect to be visible. Also, until the calendar is redrawn, the
> movement commands (e.g., calendar-forward-day) don't work
> correctly. This situation is confusing and should at least be
> mentioned in the variable documentation; better still if
> customizing the variable redraws the calendar automatically.

> (2) The resizing of the calendar window that can occur with, for
> example, calendar-forward-month can be distracting, so a
> customizable minimum window height may be useful.
>
> (3) In Calendar mode, SPC is bound to scroll-other-window, so binding
> DEL to scroll-other-window-down seems natural (cf. view-mode).
>
> (4) The error message "Months before February, 1 AD are not available"
> looks a bit strange if you do, for example, C-u calendar RET 1 RET
> February RET then M-v (scroll-calendar-right-three-months). I
> guess that the message refers specifically to using C-u M-x
> calendar, but there are other routes to generate-calendar, and
> maybe something like "Months before January, 1 AD cannot be
> displayed" would be more informative.

> (5) The earliest Mayan long count date appears to be 7.17.18.13.3,

> (6) Mention timeclock-change, and fix the documentation for the
> default behaviour of timeclock-ask-before-exiting.

> See attached patch for suggested changes. Thanks,
