Problems printing out diary

Problems printing out diary

[Dirk J. Guerrero Drücker]

Hi, I'm new using newsgroups, please excuse me if I do something wrong. 

I use the calendar in xemas, the diary file as well. I have problems printing 
out the appointments of a single day.

It is easy to use the calendar and it is easy to display the appointments by 
typing "d". But how can I print the appointments for that day? I tried to 
mark the region and to print the region. Emacs always prints out the whole 
diary file! Can anybody please help me? Please consider that I'm not an 
experienced user.

Thank you very much!

That is happening because what is shown on the screen is the full diary file
WITH SOME LINES HIDDEN.  Printing prints the whole thing!

The best way to use the diary is with the fancy diary display--that way, what
you see is what you get; but the results are computed from the diary file and
hence not editable.  You set:

  (add-hook 'diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)

You may also want to set:

  (add-hook 'list-diary-entries-hook 'sort-diary-entries t)

Since you are in Germany, you may want to change the month and day names to
German (this has been done before, so you can find it on the web).
