+# NAME
+
+ikiwiki-calendar - create calendar archive pages
+
+# SYNOPSIS
+
+ikiwiki-calendar [-f] your.setup [pagespec] [year]
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+`ikiwiki-calendar` creates pages that use the [[ikiwiki/directive/calendar]]
+directive, allowing the archives to be browsed one month
+at a time, with calendar-based navigation.
+
+You must specify the setup file for your wiki. The pages will
+be created inside its `srcdir`, beneath the `archivebase`
+directory used by the calendar plugin (default "archives").
+
+You will probably want to specify a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]]
+to control which pages are included on the calendars. The
+default is all pages. To limit it to only posts in a blog,
+use something like "posts/* and !*/Discussion".
+
+It defaults to creating calendar pages for the current
+year, as well as the previous year, and the next year.
+If you specify a year, it will create pages for that year.
+
+Existing pages will not be overwritten by this command by default.
+Use the `-f` switch to force it to overwrite any existing pages.
+
+## CRONTAB
+
+While this command only needs to be run once a year to update
+the archive pages for each new year, you are recommended to set up
+a cron job to run it daily, at midnight. Then it will also update
+the calendars to highlight the current day.
+
+An example crontab:
+
+	0 0 * * * ikiwiki-calendar ~/ikiwiki.setup "posts/* and !*/Discussion"
+
+# TEMPLATES
+
+This command uses two [[template|wikitemplates]] to generate
+the pages, `calendarmonth.tmpl` and `calendaryear.tmpl`.

+## setup
+
 The calendar is essentially a fancy front end to archives of previous
 pages, usually used for blogs. It can produce a calendar for a given month,
-or a list of months for a given year.
-
-The month format calendar simply links to any page posted on each
-day of the month. The year format calendar links to archive pages, with
-names like `archives/2007` (for all of 2007)  and `archives/2007/01`
-(for January, 2007). For this to work, you'll need to create these archive
-pages. They typically use [[inline]] to display or list pages created in
-the given time frame.
