Hi
I sometimes need to insert a date-stamp which corresponds to one month
in a year, say march 2019. I usually insert
<2019-03-01 Fri>--<2019-03-31 Sun>, but this is cumbersome to do
manually.
Somebody has a better idea or know how to insert something like <03.2019>

This'll put the computed result on the kill ring. Beautification and

Very cool, thanks a lot. But why no
(defun Plass/make-month-timerange (year month)

The problem seems to be that there is no function
calendar-last-day-of-week. I tried to play a little around but it seems difficult.
Anyhow

Well, there is, it's called `calendar-week-end-day'.
This returns the index into 'calendar-day-name-array. Note that the
variable 'calendar-week-start-day should be set properly (it defaults
to 0 = $SUNDAY, while I set this to 1, meaning $MONDAY).
This will only get you as far as computing the name of the day.
Computing a date and/or timestamp for an instance of that day name
relative to a date is quite another matter. The file
calendar/time-date.el might provide useful stuff for doing so.

What about picking one day in the month, but only displaying the month?

Thanks, but this is either buffer or export specific, I want it for some
entries but not for all in my buffer. So Thomas solution, was precisely
what I was looking for.
