The CalendarTag only is a widget that draws a calendar, it doesn't store
events. The Jon Udell howto explains how to use the CalendarTag to build
an interface to display/manage events. This is a very simple example where
events are folder properties, only 1 event can occur in a day.

In a real app. events would be objects, it could be possible to index
events with a Catalog using its date as index (for example "date.Date()"
where date is a DateTime instance). In the body of the CalendarTag you
could show the events for a given date, to get them you would do a query
to the Catalog, for example:


  <dtml-calendar ...>
    <dtml-in "Catalog(date=date.Date())">
      ... (show the event)
    </dtml-in>
  </dtml-calendar>


hope this helps,
