+This plugin provides a [[ikiwiki/directive/calendar]] [[ikiwiki/directive]].
+The directive displays a calendar, similar to the typical calendars shown on
some blogs.
-# examples
+Since ikiwiki is a wiki compiler, to keep the calendar up-to-date,
+wikis that include it need to be preiodically refreshes, typically by cron
+at midnight. Example crontab:
- \[[calendar ]]
-
- \[[calendar type="month" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]
-
- \[[calendar type="year" year="2005" pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion"]]

-This plugin is inspired by the calendar plugin for Blosxom, but
-derives no code from it. This plugin is essentially a fancy front end
-to archives of previous pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce
-a calendar for a given month, or a list of months for a given year.
-
-The tricky part of this is that while calendar defaults to showing the
-current day and month, ikiwiki is a wiki compiler, which only rebuilds
-pages if they have changed. So to keep the calendar up-to-date, wikis that
-include it need to be periodically rebuilt, typically by cron at midnight.
-
-The month format calendar simply links to any page posted on each
-day of the month. The year format calendar links to archive pages, with
-names like `archives/2007` (for all of 2007) and `archives/2007/01`
-(for January, 2007). For this to work, you'll need to create these archive
-pages. They typically use [[inline]] to display or list pages created in
-the given time frame.
