IndentTable rework

    • Thank you for reporting a bug in MoinMoin.

Modified Calendar Processor

OK, here is a first cut at a Calendar which pushes wiki text out with markup for table formatting. It works passably well as a first attempt (for a python novice). Calendar.py

Input format is as the previous form, except that anything within the input line will be treated as normal wiki input - so links and markup can be added, within the constraint of a single line of input text.

Issues:-

• The Month/Year title looks a little silly since the font is the same size as the rest - theres no way to get a larger header font that I can see at present.

• Adding conflicting markup into the entries is likely to have exciting results - for example add a || into a line.

• Long links (and unwrappable text) will do strange things to the table layout
• The height of table cells is purely set by the content - this means that the calendar looks very ragged, and empty rows are the same height has the caption rows, which looks wrong.

Comments and suggestions gratefully received.

Future Plans/Ideas

• Add an OPTION to take calendar data from an attachment file

• Add OPTIONs to restrict start and end date of calendar - with the above allows a single (or maybe multiple) attchment calendar sources to be spat out as (say) 1 month calendars for different windows on the overall period.

• Add OPTION to list the events in the calendar

• Add OPTION to hide calendar (ie if you had list you could drop the calendar)

• Add OPTION to do (maybe multiple) small calendars without text content, but marking used days - again you would use it with the list option. Crossing over to the MonthCalendar stuff in some respects, although this is more table driven.

Comments

One of the things i like about the MonthCalendar is that each event is a sub-page. I see that you are really talking about the Calendar macro, not the Month Cal, but i'd love to see output like this from the MonthCalendar! JosYule

You could use DateUtil by Gustavo Niemeyer to generalise the date input format.

Sample Input

OPTION:bodyBGColor=#DDDDDD
OPTION:captionBGColor=#CCCCFF
OPTION:firstWeekDay=6
20040707: Calendar 1.0 released
20040701: First of the month
20040731: End of the month
20040730: Link to FrontPage
