The ‘yplan’ command is a tool that generates LaTeX code for a two-page vertical daily planner for any chosen year. The generated output can be converted or printed using conversion tools such as pandoc, pdflatex, or xetex. This is a useful command for users who want to create a personalized daily planner in LaTeX format.
Use case 1: Create a daily planner with specified language, lettercase, and year
Code:
yplan language lettercase year > path/to/file.tex
Motivation: This use case allows users to create a daily planner in their preferred language, lettercase, and for a specific year. By customizing these parameters, users can personalize the planner according to their needs and preferences.
Explanation:
- language: Specifies the language of the daily planner. This can be any valid language code recognized by LaTeX.
- lettercase: Specifies the lettercase of the daily planner. This can be either “uppercase” or “lowercase”.

Example output:
Suppose we want to create a daily planner in English, with uppercase lettercase, for the year 2022. We can use the following command:
yplan en uppercase 2022 > path/to/file.tex
The output will be a LaTeX file named “file.tex” located at the specified path, containing a two-page vertical daily planner for the year 2022 in English with uppercase lettercase.
Conclusion:
The ‘yplan’ command is a powerful tool for generating personalized daily planners in LaTeX format. By specifying the language, lettercase, and year, users can create customized planners that suit their needs. The generated output can then be converted or printed using LaTeX conversion tools.
