Summary description:  Jalali (Persian) calendar: date conversion, calendars, and a year planner
Announcement text:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Persian-calendar converts dates between the Persian (Jalali,
 Solar Hijri) and the Gregorian calendar inside LaTeX, as text
 with Persian month names or as numbers, and offers Julian day
 numbers, the weekday of a Jalali date and the number of days
 between two dates.
It extends the TikZ calendar library with keys for Jalali months,
 weeks running from Saturday to Friday, and prints calendars for
 whole years in the manner of calxxxx-yyyy.
 It also contains a two-page year planner in the manner of yplan,
 with week numbers (ISO 8601 adapted to the Persian week) and
 notes marked in the cells and listed under each page, as on
 a wall calendar.
The conversions work with any engine; printing Persian text
 needs a Unicode engine and a Persian font, for example XeLaTeX
 with xepersian.
 The package comes with manuals in English and Persian and
 several samples.
