Up until now *(see below!) *an EventList tiddler (tagged with "events") had
to contain ONLY lines of plain text, each with a format of:
"YYYYMMDD;Description" (or "....MMDD;Description" for "perpetual" annual
events). This was because the tiddler text content was just read into the
Calendar code as-is, so it couldn't use wiki syntax to generate output
that, when *rendered*, appears to produce the desired text format.
However... with just TWO lines of code, the Calendar now allows EventList
tiddlers to generate their content, using any syntax that results in
"YYYYMMDD;Description" output, which is then processed as before!
For the technically-minded, I changed this line in getevents_listed() from
this:
<$list filter="[{!!text}splitregexp[\n]trim[]!match[]]" variable="line">
to this:
<$wikify name="eventdata" text={{!!text}} mode="inline">
<$list filter="[<eventdata>splitregexp[\n]trim[]!match[]]" variable="line">
With this new Calendar code in place, you can now create an EventList
tiddler (tagged with "events"), containing wiki syntax like this:
<$list filter="[has[birth-date]]">
<$view field="birth-date" format="date" template="YYYY0MM0DD" />;<
<currentTiddler>><br>
</$list>
To use this new ability, just import the latest update of
TiddlyTools/Time/Calendar from http://TiddlyTools.com/timer.html
Let me know how it goes...
enjoy,
