This:
http://www.topxml.com/code/cod-422_9868_a-calendar-using-the-xselerators-datetime-library.aspx
is 6-7 years old and is an XSLT 1.0 calendar application that has
almost exactly the functionality described.
Understandably, XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 don't have the XPath 2.0
date-time functions. Instead a stylesheet module by Martin Rowlinson
(the developer of XSelerator) was used at the time.
Anyone interested may just adapt this to XSLT 2.0, replacing the calls
to Martin's templates with corresponding XPath 2.0 date-time
functions.
Or just use the code as it is?

Hi there,
I'm sure I'm treading over well-trodden ground, but my glance through
the FAQ and googling doesn't turn up an easy XSLT2-based solution.
What I want to do is for any given year (well, they will be between
1788 and 1837 in this case) generate a tabular calendar of months and
days, with some of the days predictably being links to a resource for
that date. (Type: cal 1788 in any linux system to get an idea of
what I mean.) I have a list of what years/days/months the resource
has content for in a format like:
<year xml:id="g1789">
<month xml:id="g1789-01">
<day xml:id="g1789-01-01"/>
<day xml:id="g1789-01-02"/>
<day xml:id="g1789-01-03"/>
<day xml:id="g1789-01-04"/>
<day xml:id="g1789-01-05"/>
<day xml:id="g1789-01-06"/>
etc.
And I know I can lookup these ids to test whether there is a
corresponding link in the resource. That isn't really the problem.
What I want to know is whether someone has already done the code to
generate a year-view calendar in some sensible manner so I don't have
to figure out the date calculation of any individual date? Obviously
the intent of this is that it will be used for navigation on a
date-oriented historical resource.
Thanks for any suggestions!
