Tokens > MiniCalendar Tokens > MiniCalendar Modifiers

Muslim minicalendar tokens modifiers allow you to display the following information in minicalendars :

•Dates of the Muslim Calendar, using western or arabic characters.

•Gregorian dates, using Arabic characters.

To display dates of the Muslim calendar in a minicalendar, simply add the :isl modifier to the end of the minicalendar token, and make sure the font used for the @ dates markers is the special font used to display Arabic characters. You can also use Minical Options to have the minicalendars start on the weekday of your choice and/or run from right-to-left.

To display dates of the Muslim calendar in a minicalendar, using western characters, add the :isl modifier to the end of the minicalendar token; and use any font you wish to display the @ markers.

There is no need to add a modifier and, again, you can use Minical Options to have the minicalendars start on the weekday of your choice and/or run from right-to-left.

•However, one could easily display the Gregorian month names in Arabic, by setting the second language to Arabic, and replacing the [MMMM] and $$ tokens by [b1MMMM] and $b.

•All the structure options of minicalendars are available to you : horizontal and vertical date flow (not to be confused with vertical or horizontal chinese dates), align top or align bottom, highlight current week or current days or holidays, ...
