There is a bug in events2ics.xsl; an event lasting a number of days must
have its end date set to the date after it ends in order to be shown
correctly by a client.  For example, EuroBSDCon starts on November 25th
and ends on November 27th, so should have an event entry like this:

BEGIN:VEVENT
SEQUENCE:1
SUMMARY:EuroBSDCon 2005
URL;VALUE=3DURI:http://2005.eurobsdcon.org/
LOCATION:University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland
DTSTART;VALUE=3DDATE:20051125
DTEND;VALUE=3DDATE:20051128
DESCRIPTION:The fourth annual European BSD Conference.  It is...
END:VEVENT

However, the current implementation puts 20051127 in the date entry.
To fix this, I need to implement a "date-plus-one-day" template, and I
don't know how to do it.

If anyone does, please let me know.  If the correct fix is a whole mess
of "if (month =3D=3D February && year !=3D leapyear && day =3D=3D 28) then =
{day++,
month++}" and so on then I can do that; just tell me to do it.

To clarify for anyone still willing to help, the relevant part of
events2ics.xsl is:

  <!-- Generate iCalendar DTSTART and DTEND entries -->
  <xsl:template name=3D"gen-ical-date-interval">
    <xsl:param name=3D"startdate"/>
    <xsl:param name=3D"enddate"/>

DTSTART;VALUE=3DDATE:<xsl:value-of select=3D"concat(startdate/year,
	    format-number(startdate/month, '00'),
	    format-number(startdate/day, '00'))"/>

    <xsl:if test=3D"number(startdate/month) !=3D number(enddate/month) or
		  number(startdate/day) !=3D number(enddate/day) or
		  number(startdate/year) !=3D number(enddate/year)">
DTEND;VALUE=3DDATE:<xsl:value-of select=3D"concat(enddate/year,
	format-number(enddate/month, '00'),
	format-number(enddate/day, '00'))"/>

     </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

I need to replace this template with:

  <!-- Generate iCalendar DTSTART and DTEND entries -->
  <xsl:template name=3D"gen-ical-date-interval">
    <xsl:param name=3D"startdate"/>
    <xsl:param name=3D"enddate"/>

DTSTART;VALUE=3DDATE:<xsl:value-of select=3D"concat(startdate/year,
	    format-number(startdate/month, '00'),
	    format-number(startdate/day, '00'))"/>

    <xsl:if test=3D"number(startdate/month) !=3D number(enddate/month) or
		  number(startdate/day) !=3D number(enddate/day) or
		  number(startdate/year) !=3D number(enddate/year)">
DTEND;VALUE=3DDATE:<xsl:call-template select=3D"date-plus-one-day">
	  <xsl:with-param value=3D"enddate" />
	</xsl:call-template>

     </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

and I need help writing the "date-plus-one-day" template.

Cheers,

Ceri
