You need to write an Elisp function that is t on the dates you want and false
otherwise, then use this as a diary-sexp. Here is such a function:
(defun tsoh ()
"Chinese tsoh diary entry.
Entry applies on the 10th and 25th of the Chinese month."
(let* ((chinese-date (calendar-chinese-from-absolute
(calendar-absolute-from-gregorian
(or date (calendar-current-date)))))
(day (car (cdr (cdr (cdr chinese-date))))))
(if (or (= day 10) (= day 25))
"Tsoh")))
In your diary you use it like any other diary-sexp:
&%%(tsoh)

I'm looking for a way to have my diary include "tsoh" days, i.e., the
10th and 25th days of each month of the Chinese calendar. Google turned
up nothing. (Buddhists would appreciate that. :)
Looking at cal-chin.el, there's some defuns there which might lead to a
solution... eventually. But they all trace back to something which the
docs call an "absolute date". Info has no mention of this that I could
find. Is there a elisp function for fetching this integer for the
current day? (There must be!) I tried using
(calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (list 4 22 2006))
and this works fine, but what do I replace (list 4 22 2006) with so that
it plugs in the current gregorian date (in the correct form)?
Thanks,
ken
