Thanks for taking the time here. I've always found the calendar and
diary to be a bit "difficult".
But I didn't say anything about the diary insert functions available
from calendar. Specifically I called out:
(calendar-date-string '(05 13 2013))
=> "Monday, May 13, 2013"
This is used by the Outlook integration I was referring to on the devel
list:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-05/msg00067.html
The reason that function behaves like that is because the function is
supposed to be separately customized with calendar-date-display-form.
You're right, my emacs does have:
calendar-date-style => 'european
so calendar-date-string should be expected to insert in that style
should it not?
I've tested from -Q and it all looks good, but that makes sense.
When you have:
calendar-date-style => 'american
and no customization of:
calendar-date-display-form
then inserting dates with calender-date-string is fine.
But when you have:
calendar-date-style => 'european
and no customization of:
calendar-date-display-form
then inserting dates with calender-date-string is not fine, it's broken
in the way I described.
Which means we should either tie calendar-date-style and
calendar-date-display-form together or nor use
calendar-date-display-form to insert directly into the diary?
Nic
