The calendar display unfortunately cannot be changed from three
months, but you can customize the whitespace used by setting the
variables: calendar-left-margin,
calendar-day-header-width, calendar-day-digit-width,
calendar-column-width, and calendar-intermonth-spacing.
To display text between the months, for example week numbers,
customize the variables calendar-intermonth-header and
calendar-intermonth-text as described in their documentation.
The variable calendar-month-header controls the text that
appears above each month in the calendar. By default, it shows the
month and year. The variable calendar-day-header-array
controls the text that appears above each day’s column in every month.
By default, it shows the first two letters of each day’s name.
The variable calendar-holiday-marker specifies how to mark a
date that is a holiday. Its value may be a single-character string 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 function calendar-mark-today
uses calendar-today-marker to mark today’s date. By default,
the calendar uses faces named holiday, diary, and
calendar-today for these purposes.
Starting the calendar runs the normal hook
calendar-initial-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 calendar-today-visible-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
mark today’s date; to do that use either of the functions
calendar-mark-today or calendar-star-date:
(add-hook 'calendar-today-visible-hook 'calendar-mark-today)
A similar normal hook, calendar-today-invisible-hook is run if
the current date is not visible in the window.
Each of the calendar cursor motion commands runs the hook
calendar-move-hook after it moves the cursor.
