I have had some problems with LaTeX calendars, but they look really nice, and it would seem not unlikely to use that format as an output from Org-agenda. I found LaTeX monthly calendars pretty ridiculous when they are bloated with dozens of repeated tasks from the diary file. A well sorted list of events would seem to me to suite this nice-looking hard copy calendar nicely. To be sure, I'm not sure how well supported the cal-tex-* series is at this point. I had trouble printing them at some point, even with help from the developer, Edward Reingold. C'mon, doesn't anyone know something about LaTeX calendars that would help? I am offline until my phone is transferred to my new residence. Later this summer, I'll find time to sift through this problem myself. I apologize for repeatedly cluttering this list with often clueless questions. I like org-mode a lot and use it for all kinds of tasks, but I've lost track of some of the more arcane features over the past several months. Summer looks a good time to start catching up. The ability to print out a nice, concise hardcopy checklist from org-agenda would make a world of difference. Alan Davis On Fri, Jul 2, 2010 at 8:59 AM, Alan E.
