tartdates(5)						      LinuxTaRT Special Dates						      tartdates(5)

NAME

       tartdates - Special date configuration for LinuxTaRT

DESCRIPTION

       LinuxTaRT uses a configuration file called specialdates to enable the user to display a specific tagline on certain special dates. The name
       and location of this file is specified in the LinuxTaRT configuration file ~/.tartrc, but is usually:

       ~/.tartdates

PARAMETERS

       Each line of the special date file consists of a day of the year expressed as a two digit month, a forward-slash (/), a two digit  date,  a
       colon (:) and a line of text.

       mm/dd:tagline text

       Any line that does not conform to this specification will be treated as a comment.  Comments may also be specified by prefixing text with a
       # symbol. Using this method, you can place a comment behind a date line.

EXAMPLES

       01/01:Happy New Year!!

       Will use "Happy New Year!!" as the tagline when the date is January 1st.

       12/25:Merry Christmas to all!

       Displays "Merry Christmas to all!" as your tagline on Christmas day.

FILES

       ~/.tartdates
