## A LaTeX based calendar using TikZ

For usage see the example files »tikz-kalender-example1.tex«, 
»tikz-kalender-example2.tex«, and »*.events«. See also my [Git 
repository](https://github.com/rolfn/kalenderRN). The Code is inspired by this 
[document](http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/a-calender-for-doublesided-din-a4/) 
and has the »Creative Commons attribution license (CC-BY-SA)«.

The class »tikz-kalender« requires the package »tikz« and the tkiz libraries 
»calc« and »calendar«.
