Ah, now I understand. That is also the reason why your calendar looks
so crowded. So far I've only used it to show the entries from my diary
file. 

My idea was to replace the year calendar with some export of the
agenda view, maybe of the next 14 days. So you'd have an overview of
your appointments (and only your appointments) for the next 4 weeks
and the next 3 months and finally an overview of all the tasks for the
next 14 days.

Now what would be really nice is if I could export the agenda view to
latex. I couldn't find any code in org-export-latex.el to do that. Am
I missing something, Bastien?

Well, while it would be worthwile to do some enhancements to
cal-tex.el (some TODOs are mentioned in the Commentary section), there
is an easier way to massage the produced LaTeX code. As mentioned on
the emacswiki
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CalendarPrinting) you can
add a hook to cal-tex-hook which can quote the @ or change the fonts
for example.

In essence this is the same as Pete's sed hack in the Makefile, just a
tad more integrated in Emacs. If this really makes such a great
difference in terms of a batch job I don't know.
