calendar problem: week number

[-- Attachment #1: Type: Text/Plain, Size: 312 bytes --]


Companies in German are used to refer to the `Kalenderwoche' (the
current number of the week counted from the beginning of the year).
For example, this week is the 32nd week.  Can I configure `calendar'
to make it display, eg., like in the attached image?  I haven't found
a hint in the info file.

I use this custom code to do that:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'calendar-mode-line-format
             '(let ((day (nth 1 date))
                    (month (nth 0 date))
                    (year (nth 2 date)))
                (format-time-string "Week of year: %V"
                                    (encode-time 1 1 1 day month 
year))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Bye,

That should not cause any problems.  Note that you can also use the calendar 
code functions for the week number; see cal-iso.el

Thanks, but helps a bit but it is not what I really want -- in most
cases you don't need the current week number but a values of a
completely different week number.

Maybe this can be added somehow to calendar.

Oops.  I shouldn't watch the opening of the Olympic Games :-)

It turns out it is, after Ed pointed out that my idea of adding
something to calendar-generate-month may not work, I had another
look to see if I had in fact broken things.  It turns out Glenn
Morris has recently (Jun 26th) implemented more flexible calendar
printing: removing magic numbers and the like.

Anyway, to get iso week numbers in the calendar view, just modify
`calendar-intermonth-text' as suggested in its docstring.  This
is in NEWS, but not yet in the info file, I believe.

Cheers,
Lawrence

Typing 'p c' shows you the ISO date, with week number, which should be
the same as the German 'Kalenderwoche' (AFAIK it's all ISO 8601).

I don't think you can customize the calendar to show week numbers next
to the rows (that's what you are looking for, right?

The following patch seems to do the right thing, although it only
works correctly if calendar-week-start-day is 1 (monday).  I don't think
it breaks any of the movement commands.

The "fix" below will break many, many things--holidays, diary entries, 
conversions to other calendars, etc.  The exact shape of the calendar window 
cannot be changed.

I made sure not to change the shape of the calendar window: the
extra week numbers are placed in the space between months without
changing the column layout.  Will this nonetheless affect things?
