I am trying to make a two sided holiday calendar (DIN A4, two pages for one school year). For this I started with an example from Robert Krause and tried to modify it. Here is how it looks so far:

There are some points where I need help:
- The school weeks should be numbered automatically, so in my example on Mo. 2018-09-10 there should be a small "SW 1" in the upper right corner of the day node. In Mo. 2018-09-17 there should be "SW 2" etc, Mo. 2018-10-01 would be "SW 4" and on Mo. 2018-10-29 there should be no mark since it is in the holidays, so "SW 8" would be on Mo. 2018-11-05 (and not "SW 9" since the SW counter shouldn't increment in the holidays).
If at least one day in a week is not a holiday day it should count as a "school week" and a particular "SW x" should be placed in the upper right corner of the first day in this week which is not a holiday day (in my example this would be always a Monday, but for a general solution it might be the case that for example Monday and Tuesday are holiday days but Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are not, in this case "SW x" should be printed on the Wednesday).
I tried the following code inside the day code, but it seems to be nonsense.
\ifdate{Monday}{
\tikzset{
loop over item/.code args={####1/####2/####3}{%
\ifdate{between=####1 and ####2}{%
}{
\woche{\pgfcalendarsuggestedname}{\theweek}
\stepcounter{week}
}},
loop over item/.list/.expanded=\ferien
}
}{}
where the week command is defined as:
\newcounter{week}
\setcounter{week}{1}
\newcommand\woche[2]{
\node [anchor=north east, align=right] at
($(#1.north east)+(0em, 0em)$) {\tiny{SW #2}.};}
-
The calender week number should be on each monday in the right lower corner.
-
The code redundancy should be reduced and the syntax for giving dates and holidays simplified as much as possible, in particular I want to give the list of holidays globally in just one place and another list of special dates in another global place (instead of writing
\termineach time). However it should be possible to define several categories of dates (with different lists and styles).
You may have noticed that for example the date "Heilige Drei Könige" is printed on 2019-01-06 and as well in 2019-06-06 (which is wrong) since I specified the date once for both calendars. This should in particular be fixed (I know that I can fix it by duplicating the calendar code and set the date in the first part of the calendar only, but as written above I want to reduce the code redudancy and not increase it).

I think this addresses all the issues...
For the School week thing, I used two conditionals:
\ifWeekStarted, and\ifPrintSW. The first one is triggered every Monday to signal a week has started. Later on, if we're not in a holiday, and\ifWeekStarted, the\ifPrintSWswitch is turned on. If this last switch is on, when PGF is drawing the node, it will step theschoolweekcounter and writeSW X. Now it will mark the earliest day of every week that it can. Now we only have to exclude possible holidays, so if the holiday falls on a Monday, it will hold\ifWeekStartedswitch and wait for Tuesday to see if it can enable\ifPrintSW. We'll get to the holidays later.Similar to 1, but much easier, we only write a number every week. Here, however, we (may) have a problem. If you want both School Week and Calendar Week to start at 1, then the code is trivial. However, if you want the Calendar Week to start in January 1st, then I don't know if it's possible (with a reasonable amount of effort) without LuaTeX... I implemented a solution that with pdfTeX and XeTeX starts the Calendar Week numbering from 1 with the School Weeks, and with LuaTeX it calls
os.date()to get the week number. Since you said it's OK, then OK :)I defined a command
\addholidaywhich takes three arguments: an identifier for the holidays, a comma-separated list of holiday entries, and a style setting (which will be executed by\tikzset). Each holiday entry is of the form<date conditional>/<holiday name>. For example, the "Heilige Drei Könige" day is given asequals = 2019-01-06 / Heilige Drei Könige. All other valid PGF calendar day-selection keys are valid, for example:between = 2018-10-08 and 2018-10-09 / Seven-day weekend!!!. The code will then loop through the given holidays and print them when appropriate. Additionally, one can use the starred variant,\addholiday*, to define a "special" day, which is not a holiday per se, so it still counts as a school week, but such special days can have a header printed on them and have a special formatting.Here's the first page when compiled with LuaTeX:
Note that the weeks are numbered from 37 because the output of
date -d 2018-09-10 +%V(on a Linux machine) says that this is the 37th week of the year. When compiled with pdfTeX or XeTeX it will start from 1.Notice that due to the
Seven-day weekend!!!the labelSW 5.appears only on Wednesday. Note also that, because for week number42I used\addholiday*, then the week still counts as School Week (SW 6.), but it gets a "Holiday Label" and gets formatted accordingly.The first version I created (if someone is interested you can find it in the edit history -- it is too long to post two codes) used low-level definitions and argument handling to define the
\addholidaymacro, so it soon became far too awkward to maintain or modify anything (mostly because I was bodging-in features as I was writing the command. Don't recommend that :).The current version uses
expl3's property lists to store the holidays. This allows me to easily add properties to the holidays, query the existing properties, and use them in the drawing code.If you call, say, this command:
then the property tree created will be like this:
(I am deeply sorry for my attempt using
forest. Code adapted from this answer).When you do that, the
\addholidaycommand creates a\l__julia_HDAY_holidayproperty list which will contain three properties:special,style, anddates. Thespecialproperty will contain a boolean,trueif the starred variant was used,falseotherwise. Thestyleproperty will hold the last argument to\addholidaywhich will do the formatting of this set of dates. The last property,dates, will contain the reference to another property list,\l__julia_HDAY_holiday_dates. This property list will contain as many properties as the number of entries you passed to\addholiday. Each property will be the name of the holiday, and the corresponding value will be the PGF Calendar test to find the dates.Now the command
\holidaycheckiterates through the defined holiday lists and calls\__julia_holiday_check:nnn. This last macro is responsible for checking if the current date is a holiday (with\ifdate), and executing the provided code if that's the case. With all this structure set up, implementing a verification to print only the first instance of a holiday's name is close to trivial :)For each holiday (for example
Heilige Drei Könige), we check if a command called\is_Heilige Drei Könige_printedis defined. If it is not, then we set the boolean\WriteNameto true, write the holiday's name, and define the command\is_Heilige Drei Könige_printed(the definition is empty). If that command is defined (by the previous step) then we set\WriteNameto false and don't write the name.Code:
