Re: Date calculations

[Fredrik <fredrik@jumans.net>]

Hmm reading a bit more in the manual I found that entries like this  
should work:
%%(diary-anniversary 14  5 1956) Arthur Dent is %d years old

But I can't make in show in my agenda?
The manual also samples this :
%%(org-calendar-holiday)
This works though? So any ideas on how to make the first one work?

Regards,

Fredrik
