17.1.3.2 Formatting a Table Representing a Calendar Month

The calendar-month function shows how you can format a table that represents a calendar month. The first row in the table acts as column headings representing the days of the week. The following rows are numbers representing the days of the month.

This example shows how you can align the contents of a cell. The column headings (Sun, Mon, Tue, etc.) are centered within the cells. However, the dates themselves (1, 2, 3, ... 31) are aligned to the right edge of the cells. The resulting calendar looks good because the dates are aligned in the natural way.

                                   (4 . "Fri")(5 . "Sat")

Evaluating (calendar-month 5 90 :stream *my-stream*) shows this table:
