Converting To Other Calendars
The following commands describe the selected date (the date at point)
in various other calendar systems:
- Mouse-2 Other calendars
- Display the date that you click on, expressed in various other calendars.
- p c
- Display ISO commercial calendar equivalent for selected day
(
calendar-print-iso-date).
- p j
- Display Julian date for selected day (
calendar-print-julian-date).
- p a
- Display astronomical (Julian) day number for selected day
(
calendar-print-astro-day-number).
- p h
- Display Hebrew date for selected day (
calendar-print-hebrew-date).
- p i
- Display Islamic date for selected day (
calendar-print-islamic-date).
- p f
- Display French Revolutionary date for selected day

- p C
- Display Chinese date for selected day
(
calendar-print-chinese-date).
- p k
- Display Coptic date for selected day
(
calendar-print-coptic-date).
- p e

- p p

(
calendar-print-persian-date).

If you are using X, the easiest way to translate a date into other
calendars is to click on it with Mouse-2, then choose Other
calendars from the menu that appears. This displays the equivalent
forms of the date in all the calendars Emacs understands, in the form of
a menu. (Choosing an alternative from this menu doesn't actually do
anything--the menu is used only for display.)
Otherwise, move point to the date you want to convert, then type the
appropriate command starting with p from the table above. The
prefix p is a mnemonic for "print," since Emacs "prints" the
equivalent date in the echo area.
