    <p>
        Use the <cmd>--calendar</cmd> option to create a calendar dialog. Zenity returns the selected date to standard output. If no date is specified on the command line, the dialog uses the current date.
    </p>
    <p>
	The calendar dialog supports the following options:
    </p>

    <terms>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--text</cmd>=<var>text</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the text that is displayed in the calendar dialog.</p>
      </item>
     	
      <item>
        <title><cmd>--day</cmd>=<var>day</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the day that is selected in the calendar dialog. day must be a number between 1 and 31 inclusive.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--month</cmd>=<var>month</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the month that is selected in the calendar dialog. month must be a number between 1 and 12 inclusive.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--year</cmd>=<var>year</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the year that is selected in the calendar dialog.</p>
      </item>

      <item>
        <title><cmd>--date-format</cmd>=<var>format</var></title>
	<p>Specifies the format that is returned from the calendar dialog after date selection. The default format depends on your locale. Format must be a format that is acceptable to the <cmd>strftime</cmd> function, for example <var>%A %d/%m/%y</var>.</p>
      </item>

    </terms>
