Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Make a timetable in latex

[mikesol]

Hello everybody

I'm doing my master's thesis, and I have to make a timetable. I did something like that

Code: Select all

%%Preamble
\usepackage{colortbl}
\definecolor{lgray}{gray}{0.8}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


\begin{tabular}{|p{2cm}|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\hline 
Act.\textbackslash{} Fecha & Feb & Mar & Abr & May & Jun & Jul & Ago & Set & Oct & Nov & Dic & Ene & Feb & Mar\\

\hline

\hline
\end{tabular}

But it looks really ugly. I search if there a package for this. and find one called calendar http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/ ... /calendar/ but isn't clear how the package works.

Somebody knows how this package works? or there is another way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

Another topic might help in this case. The problem that was introduced there is different from yours but the table structure could be the right one to get things work for you.

I tried to do it with the calendar package. I started with a very simple example but doesn't work.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,12pts]{article}
\usepackage{evntlist}

\begin{document}

\begin{eventlist}{}{}
 1 Jan. 2009
\end{eventlist}

\end{document}

In the output there is an error

Code: Select all

Anteproyecto.tex:352:\begin{eventlist} on input line 350 ended by \end{itemize}. \end{eventlist}
Anteproyecto.tex:352:\begin{document} ended by \end{eventlist}. \end{eventlist}
Anteproyecto.tex:352:Extra \endgroup. \end{eventlist}

Any idea?

Thanks
