PERFORMANCE UPDATE - http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html I've re-written matchevents() to use removeprefix[] instead of regexp[] to match event dates. The result: *a 5x speed improvement (!!) when showing a yearly calendar with lots of events.* Note that, even without the regexp[] matching, it still allows the TiddlyTools/Time/Events list to use "....mmdd" syntax for annual recurring events (such as birthdays and certain fixed-date holidays, e.g., New Year's, Christmas, etc.). This is handled as a special case, rather than a generic "regexp" pattern match. *Other pattern-based dates (such as the "Spring Break 2021"* *example) no longer work and have been removed from the Events tiddler list.* I've also added .ics event tiddlers for "US_Holidays" and "UN_Holidays", so the Calendar now shows a lot more green dates, without the excessively slow rendering time. I also updated the Events section of the Info tiddler to include instructions for how to import Google Calendar .ics files, as well as a link to https://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ as a source for lots of *free* .ics files enjoy, -e -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
