You can examine the definition of an ELisp function by:
1. typing C-h f whilst on a function;
2. typing RET to take you to the documentation for that function;
3. typing TAB then RET to take you to the function definition.
Starting with point on `org-calendar-holiday`, we find that:
- `org-calendar-holiday` calls (if available)
`calendar-check-holidays` or (otherwise)
`check-calendar-holidays`;
- `calendar-check-holidays` calls `calendar-holiday-list`;
- `calendar-holiday-list` makes use of the `calendar-holidays`
variable.
We can examine the documentation for the `calendar-holidays`
variable by moving point onto and typing C-h v RET. On my setup
(manually compiled Emacs 24.4.1 on Debian Wheezy(+updates) x86_64
together with Org 20150223), the documentation suggests that
`calendar-holidays` makes use of the `holiday-local-holidays`
variable; and the documentation for `holiday-local-holidays`
merely refers us back to the documentation for
`calendar-holidays`.
When i scroll down to look at the current value of
`calendar-holidays`, however, i see that neither the current value
nor the original value makes any reference to the
`holiday-local-holidays` variable. And indeed, when i examine my
agenda for next Monday, which is a local holiday i've specified in
`holiday-local-holidays`, i can't see that local holiday. To fix
this, i use M-: to evaluate:
(setq calendar-holidays (append calendar-holidays
holiday-local-holidays))
after which the local holiday next Monday appears in my Org
agenda.
Given the documentation for the `calendar-holidays` variable, the
fact that i need to manually add the value of the
`holiday-local-holidays` variable to `calendar-holidays` seems to
me like it might be a coding or documentation bug in Emacs .... ?
Alexis.
