+Movement in the Calendar
+------------------------
+
+ Calendar mode lets you move through the calendar in logical units of
+time such as days, weeks, months, and years. If you move outside the
+three months originally displayed, the calendar display "scrolls"
+automatically through time to make the selected date visible. Moving to
+a date lets you view its holidays or diary entries, or convert it to
+other calendars; moving longer time periods is also useful simply to
+scroll the calendar.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Calendar Unit Motion:: Moving by days, weeks, months, and years.
+* Move to Beginning or End:: Moving to start/end of weeks, months, and years.
+* Specified Dates:: Moving to the current date or another
+ specific date.

+Motion by Integral Days, Weeks, Months, Years
+.............................................
+
+ The commands for movement in the calendar buffer parallel the
+commands for movement in text. You can move forward and backward by
+days, weeks, months, and years.
+
+`C-f'
+ Move point one day forward (`calendar-forward-day').
+
+`C-b'
+ Move point one day backward (`calendar-backward-day').
+
+`C-n'
+ Move point one week forward (`calendar-forward-week').
+
+`C-p'
+ Move point one week backward (`calendar-backward-week').
+
+`M-}'
+ Move point one month forward (`calendar-forward-month').
+
+`M-{'
+ Move point one month backward (`calendar-backward-month').
+
+`C-x ]'
+ Move point one year forward (`calendar-forward-year').
+
+`C-x ['
+ Move point one year backward (`calendar-backward-year').
+
+ The day and week commands are natural analogues of the usual Emacs
+commands for moving by characters and by lines. Just as `C-n' usually
+moves to the same column in the following line, in Calendar mode it
+moves to the same day in the following week. And `C-p' moves to the
+same day in the previous week.
+
+ The arrow keys are equivalent to `C-f', `C-b', `C-n' and `C-p', just
+as they normally are in other modes.
+
+ The commands for motion by months and years work like those for
+weeks, but move a larger distance. The month commands `M-}' and `M-{'
+move forward or backward by an entire month's time. The year commands
+`C-x ]' and `C-x [' move forward or backward a whole year.
+
+ The easiest way to remember these commands is to consider months and
+years analogous to paragraphs and pages of text, respectively. But the
+commands themselves are not quite analogous. The ordinary Emacs
+paragraph commands move to the beginning or end of a paragraph, whereas
+these month and year commands move by an entire month or an entire
+year, which usually involves skipping across the end of a month or year.
+
+ All these commands accept a numeric argument as a repeat count. For
+convenience, the digit keys and the minus sign specify numeric
+arguments in Calendar mode even without the Meta modifier. For example,
+`100 C-f' moves point 100 days forward from its present location.

+
+Beginning or End of Week, Month or Year
+.......................................
+
+ A week (or month, or year) is not just a quantity of days; we think
+of weeks (months, years) as starting on particular dates. So Calendar
+mode provides commands to move to the beginning or end of a week, month
+or year:
+
+`C-a'
+ Move point to start of week (`calendar-beginning-of-week').
+
+`C-e'
+ Move point to end of week (`calendar-end-of-week').
+
+`M-a'
+ Move point to start of month (`calendar-beginning-of-month').
+
+`M-e'
+ Move point to end of month (`calendar-end-of-month').
+
+`M-<'
+ Move point to start of year (`calendar-beginning-of-year').
+
+`M->'
+ Move point to end of year (`calendar-end-of-year').
+
+ These commands also take numeric arguments as repeat counts, with the
+repeat count indicating how many weeks, months, or years to move
+backward or forward.
+
+ By default, weeks begin on Sunday. To make them begin on Monday
+instead, set the variable `calendar-week-start-day' to 1.

+
+Particular Dates
+................
+
+ Calendar mode provides commands for moving to a particular date
+specified in various ways.
+
+`g d'
+ Move point to specified date (`calendar-goto-date').
+
+`o'
+ Center calendar around specified month (`calendar-other-month').
+
+`.'
+ Move point to today's date (`calendar-goto-today').
+
+ `g d' (`calendar-goto-date') prompts for a year, a month, and a day
+of the month, and then moves to that date. Because the calendar
+includes all dates from the beginning of the current era, you must type
+the year in its entirety; that is, type `1990', not `90'.
+
+ `o' (`calendar-other-month') prompts for a month and year, then
+centers the three-month calendar around that month.
+
+ You can return to today's date with `.' (`calendar-goto-today').

+
+Scrolling the Calendar through Time
+-----------------------------------
+
+ The calendar display scrolls automatically through time when you
+move out of the visible portion. You can also scroll it manually.
+Imagine that the calendar window contains a long strip of paper with
+the months on it. Scrolling it means moving the strip so that new
+months become visible in the window.
+
+`C-x <'
+ Scroll calendar one month forward (`scroll-calendar-left').
+
+`C-x >'
+ Scroll calendar one month backward (`scroll-calendar-right').
+
+`C-v'
+`<NEXT>'
+ Scroll calendar three months forward
+ (`scroll-calendar-left-three-months').
+
+`M-v'
+`<PRIOR>'
+ Scroll calendar three months backward
+ (`scroll-calendar-right-three-months').
+
+ The most basic calendar scroll commands scroll by one month at a
+time. This means that there are two months of overlap between the
+display before the command and the display after. `C-x <' scrolls the
+calendar contents one month to the left; that is, it moves the display
+forward in time. `C-x >' scrolls the contents to the right, which
+moves backwards in time.
+
+ The commands `C-v' and `M-v' scroll the calendar by an entire
+"screenful"--three months--in analogy with the usual meaning of these
+commands. `C-v' makes later dates visible and `M-v' makes earlier
+dates visible. These commands take a numeric argument as a repeat
+count; in particular, since `C-u' multiplies the next command by four,
+typing `C-u C-v' scrolls the calendar forward by a year and typing `C-u
+M-v' scrolls the calendar backward by a year.
+
+ The function keys <NEXT> and <PRIOR> are equivalent to `C-v' and
+`M-v', just as they are in other modes.

+
+The Mark and the Region
+-----------------------
+
+ The concept of the mark applies to the calendar just as to any other
+buffer, but it marks a _date_, not a _position_ in the buffer. The
+region consists of the days between the mark and point (including the
+starting and stopping dates).
+
+`C-SPC'
+ Set the mark to today's date (`calendar-set-mark').
+
+`C-@'
+ The same.
+
+`C-x C-x'
+ Interchange mark and point (`calendar-exchange-point-and-mark').
+
+`M-='
+ Display the number of days in the current region
+ (`calendar-count-days-region').
+
+ You set the mark in the calendar, as in any other buffer, by using
+`C-@' or `C-SPC' (`calendar-set-mark'). You return to the marked date
+with the command `C-x C-x' (`calendar-exchange-point-and-mark') which
+puts the mark where point was and point where mark was. The calendar
+is scrolled as necessary, if the marked date was not visible on the
+screen. This does not change the extent of the region.
+
+ To determine the number of days in the region, type `M-='
+(`calendar-count-days-region'). The numbers of days printed is
+_inclusive_; that is, it includes the days specified by mark and point.
+
+ The main use of the mark in the calendar is to remember dates that
+you may want to go back to. To make this feature more useful, the mark
+ring (*note Mark Ring::) operates exactly as in other buffers: Emacs
+remembers 16 previous locations of the mark. To return to a marked
+date, type `C-u C-SPC' (or `C-u C-@'); this is the command
+`calendar-set-mark' given a numeric argument. It moves point to where
+the mark was, restores the mark from the ring of former marks, and
+stores the previous point at the end of the mark ring. So, repeated
+use of this command moves point through all the old marks on the ring,
+one by one.

- If you set the variable `view-diary-entries-initially' to `t',
-calling up the calendar automatically displays the diary entries for
-the current date as well. The diary dates appear only if the current
-date is visible. If you add both of the following lines to your
-`.emacs' file:
-
- (setq view-diary-entries-initially t)
- (calendar)
-
-this displays both the calendar and diary windows whenever you start
-Emacs.
-
- Similarly, if you set the variable
-`view-calendar-holidays-initially' to `t', entering the calendar
-automatically displays a list of holidays for the current three-month
-period. The holiday list appears in a separate window.
-
- You can set the variable `mark-diary-entries-in-calendar' to `t' in
-order to mark any dates with diary entries. This takes effect whenever
-the calendar window contents are recomputed. There are two ways of
-marking these dates: by changing the face (*note Faces::), if the
-display supports that, or by placing a plus sign (`+') beside the date
-otherwise.
-
- Similarly, setting the variable `mark-holidays-in-calendar' to `t'
-marks holiday dates, either with a change of face or with an asterisk
-(`*').
-
- The variable `calendar-holiday-marker' specifies how to mark a date
-as being a holiday. Its value may be a character to insert next to the
-date, or a face name to use for displaying the date. Likewise, the
-variable `diary-entry-marker' specifies how to mark a date that has
-diary entries. The calendar creates faces named `holiday-face' and
-`diary-face' for these purposes; those symbols are the default values
-of these variables, when Emacs supports multiple faces on your terminal.
-
- The variable `calendar-load-hook' is a normal hook run when the
-calendar package is first loaded (before actually starting to display
-the calendar).
-
- Starting the calendar runs the normal hook
-`initial-calendar-window-hook'. Recomputation of the calendar display
-does not run this hook. But if you leave the calendar with the `q'
-command and reenter it, the hook runs again.
-
- The variable `today-visible-calendar-hook' is a normal hook run
-after the calendar buffer has been prepared with the calendar when the
-current date is visible in the window. One use of this hook is to
-replace today's date with asterisks; to do that, use the hook function
-`calendar-star-date'.
-
- (add-hook 'today-visible-calendar-hook 'calendar-star-date)
-
-Another standard hook function marks the current date, either by
-changing its face or by adding an asterisk. Here's how to use it:
-
- (add-hook 'today-visible-calendar-hook 'calendar-mark-today)
-
-The variable `calendar-today-marker' specifies how to mark today's
-date. Its value should be a character to insert next to the date or a
-face name to use for displaying the date. A face named
-`calendar-today-face' is provided for this purpose; that symbol is the
-default for this variable when Emacs supports multiple faces on your
-terminal.
-
-A similar normal hook, `today-invisible-calendar-hook' is run if the
-current date is _not_ visible in the window.
