Event Calendar Plugin for Joplin

This is a plugin for the Joplin note-taking app.

It creates a calendar view of events that have been specified using the YAML syntax within a fenced block.

• Organises events into "groupings"; you can group events by day, week, month or year
• Focus is on readability and simplicity of content, which is why the YAML is simple in structure

Example Day view

Features

• A grouping that contains no events will show the date (day grouping), week number (week grouping), month (month grouping), or year (year grouping)
• If a grouping falls under the current date, it is highlighted in yellow
• Events can be specified in any order
• Events can be assigned an icon 🎁 such as an emoji
• Events without an icon will use the first 2 characters from the title

How to use
