This directory contains holiday files. The two-character files contain
|
|
holidays for various countries. Some countries (such as US and CA) have
|
|
regions with their own different holidays; the regional holidays are
|
|
stored in *.rem files underneath the country-code directory (eg, us and ca,
|
|
respectively.)
|
|
|
|
Many of these files were generated from the excellent "holidays" Python
|
|
library at https://pypi.org/project/holidays/
|
|
|
|
I did great damage to the library and host a terrible, awful hacked version
|
|
at https://github.com/dfskoll/holidays; it is this repo (in the remind-output
|
|
branch) that I used to generate the Remind files.
|
|
|
|
********************** IMPORTANT CAVEATS **********************
|
|
|
|
Any holidays that depend on a non-Gregorian calendar such as Jewish,
|
|
Islamic, Chinese and other East Asian calendars will NOT appear in the
|
|
country files! The only exceptions are holidays depending on the
|
|
Orthodox Easter date, for which Remind has support.
|
|
|
|
Also, I have made no effort to track changes to holiday legislation
|
|
over time. Therefore, the holiday files may be inaccurate for years
|
|
prior to 2024. I also did not include any one-off holidays such as
|
|
the funeral of Queen Elizabeth on 19 September 2022.
|
|
|
|
Non-country holiday files are:
|
|
|
|
chinese-new-year.rem - Chinese New Year from 2022 through 2050
|
|
discordian.rem - Discordian holidays
|
|
jewish.rem - Jewish holidays
|
|
pagan.rem - Pagan holidays
|
|
|
|
ADVANCE WARNING:
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
None of the included holiday files have deltas or substitution sequences.
|
|
You can use the following trick if you would like (for example) 7 days'
|
|
advance warning of holidays:
|
|
|
|
# Save old definition (if any) of msgsuffix
|
|
FRENAME msgsuffix saved_msgsuffix
|
|
|
|
# Save old value of $DefaultDelta
|
|
SET old_delta $DefaultDelta
|
|
|
|
# We want 7 days' advance warning
|
|
SET $DefaultDelta 7
|
|
|
|
# Add a suffix to print " is in xxx days", etc.
|
|
# Note the char(8) at the start to put the suffix
|
|
# on the same line as the reminder, and the final %
|
|
# in the argument of dosubst() to avoid an *extra*
|
|
# newline from being added
|
|
FSET msgsuffix(x) char(8) + dosubst(" is %b.%", $T)
|
|
|
|
# Include your holiday files here...
|
|
SYSINCLUDE holidays/us.rem
|
|
SYSINCLUDE holidays/us/ny.rem
|
|
|
|
# Restore old version of msgsuffix and $DefaultDelta
|
|
FRENAME saved_msgsuffix msgsuffix
|
|
SET $DefaultDelta old_delta
|
