A wall calendar class with custom layouts and support for internationalization.

The documentclass comes with the following layouts:

Files are in the doc/examples folder.

The sundayFirst class option shifts the week to start on Sunday instead of Monday. All layouts respect this option.

Set the compiler to LuaLaTeX in the project settings sidebar.
The Wall Calendar in the Overleaf Template Gallery is the same as the 'portrait page layout' example repo below, and similar to the doc/examples/cal-plain.tex example in this repo.
On overleaf.com, check Settings > Compiler > LuaLaTex and recent TeX Live year
In case of compile time out on overleaf.com:
- Re-compiling sometimes helps due to cached assets.
- Comment out months and test with a single month only.

TeXLive includes the wallcalendar package since 2018.

I recommend however to clone this repository for each new calendar project, this
way you can make small changes directly in wallcalendar.cls or the lua
scripts.
You can start with one of the examples and start tweaking it. Optionally, remove the docs if you don't want to include them in your project.
git clone https://github.com/profound-labs/wallcalendar.git
cd wallcalendar
cp doc/examples/cal-photo-and-notes.tex ./new-calendar.tex
cp -r doc/examples/data .
cp -r doc/examples/photos .
cp -r doc/examples/fonts .
rm doc/ -r
rm LICENSE.txt Makefile README.md wallcalendar-layouts.png wallcalendar.pdf
lualatex -interaction=nonstopmode -halt-on-error ./new-calendar.tex
If you wanted to install it as a local package, the make local-install task in
the project root will try to install it at $TEXMFHOME/tex.
