17.5.2.3 calendar

This element specifies the calendar which shall be displayed for the current date picker structured document tag, if a user interface is present for the structured document tag. The calendar information is stored on this element’s val attribute.

If this element is omitted, then the calendar shall be gregorian.

[Example: Consider the following structured document tag properties:

<w:sdtPr>
  <w:date w:fullDate="2006-01-01T06:30:00Z">
    <w:calendar w:val="gregorian"/>
  </w:date>
</w:sdtPr>

The calendar element specifies that the calendar information for a calendar which might be displayed in the document must be the Gregorian calendar format (gregorian). end example]

Attributes

val (Calendar Type Value)

Specifies a type of calendar, the use of which is determined by the parent XML element.

If this attribute is omitted, then the calendar type shall be gregorian.

[Example: Consider the following WordprocessingML for a document containing a structured document tag:

  <w:sdtPr>
    <w:date … >
        <w:calendar w:val="japan"/>
    </w:date>
  </w:sdtPr>

The val attribute value of japan specifies that the Japanese Emperor Era calendar must be used; in this case, it is used for the calendar displayed for a date structured document tag. end example]

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the ST_CalendarType simple type (22.9.2.1).
