The 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates minicalendar modifiers are used to delete the textbox of a minicalendar, based on whether or not the month of the current minicalendar requires the day combinations 1/8 and 2/9.
➢This modifier only makes sense in the context of a 5-week minicalendar.
The 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates modifier is of the form
:ZapCode Operator FractionCode
ZapCode |
z |
deletes the textbox containing the minicalendar token (if the textbox is grouped, it will be removed from the group before being deleted) |
Z |
deletes the textbox containing the minicalendar token, as well as any object that is grouped to that textbox |
|
ZL |
Deletes all the objects that are located on the same layer and the same page as the textbox containing the minicalendar token (whether or not they are grouped).

Allowed values are:
•f18 (if the only combined dates are 1/8) •f29 (if both the 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates are present)
For example [1mc+00:ZL~f18] or [1mc+00:ZL~f29]. |
This modifier is usually used in 5-week minicalendars, to display or delete layers specific to the cases where one or both of the 1/8 and 2/9 combined dates are present.
