See Multi-Day Event Formatting for details. | $description | datenumberformat | Specifies formatting for the date number in each cell. The formatting codes accepted are the same as those for the %GMTIME% variable. | $day (if aslist="0" ) * $day $mon $year (if aslist="1" ) | todaydatenumberformat | Specifies formatting for the date number for the current day (today) in the calendar. The formatting codes accepted are the same as those for the %GMTIME% variable. | datenumberformat | cellspacing="n" | Spacing of calendar cells. (sharpborders="0" required) | "0" | showweekdayheaders="1" | Show the weekday headers | "0" | showdatenumbers="0" | Show day numbers 1...31 in date cells. Note that showdatenumbers=1 means that HTML::CalendarMonthSimple will add the date numbers to the cells. If showdatenumbers=0 , then the plugin adds the date numbers. The result of this is that a calendar will always show the date numbers. | "0" (except with aslist="1" , see below) | year="+yy" or "-yy" | Relative year | Current year | month="+mm" or "-mm" | relative month | Current month | nowrap="1" or "0" | Prevent cell content from wrapping | "0" | cellpadding="n" | Padding of calendar cells.
