org-mode -> diary -> latex calendar

[Fred Concklin]

I was wondering if I can take an org file and turn it into one of those
snazzy tex calendars like I can with a diary file?

Yes, but not directly.  You can use the `org-diary' function to include
Org's appointments into your ~/.diary then export the diary.

I use this method and it works very well.

Another tip: the resulting calendar looks better if you advise org-diary
to use a custom agenda prefix format:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defadvice org-diary (around my-org-diary activate)
  (let ((org-agenda-prefix-format "%t %s "))
    ad-do-it))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best,
Matt
