# colitur

*computus liturgicus* — a safe, highly-tested, deterministic engine that computes
and validates liturgical calendars for multiple rites, with template-driven output.

Starting with the Roman EF (1962) and OF forms; extensible to other traditions.
Computes day-identity (season, celebration, rank, colour, cycle, precedence) and
reading citations, correct to year 9999. See the design and rules research under
`docs/` (local).

## Build

```sh
opam switch create . 5.2.0 -y     # first time: local OCaml switch
opam install -y dune alcotest qcheck qcheck-alcotest sexplib ppx_sexp_conv
dune build
dune test                           # fast suite (~3s)
COLITUR_EXHAUSTIVE_SWEEP=1 dune test --force   # + every year 1583-9999 (~50s)
dune exec colitur -- easter 2026    # Easter and its Easter-relative anchors
dune exec colitur -- temporal 2026  # the EF temporal cycle only, one line per day
dune exec colitur -- day 2026       # the full resolved EF calendar (temporal + sanctoral)
```

## Rendering

```sh
# The ordo booklet has a table of contents (page numbers via \pageref), so
# it needs TWO pdflatex passes -- the first pass leaves every entry showing
# "??"; the second resolves them. A single pass is not a bug in the
# template, it is just an unfinished build. Either form works:
dune exec colitur -- table --year 2027 --template templates/ef/ordo.tex > ordo.tex && pdflatex ordo.tex && pdflatex ordo.tex
# or: latexmk -pdf ordo.tex

# The wall calendar has no cross-references, so one pass is enough:
dune exec colitur -- table --year 2027 --template templates/ef/grid.tex > grid.tex && pdflatex grid.tex

dune exec colitur -- publish --from 2027 --to 2027 --out ./public
```

See `colitur-templates(5)` for the template format (syntax, escaping, the
full field reference) and `colitur(1)` for `emit`, `table`/`render` and
`publish` in full.

## Language

Every command's output is names, not slugs, by default (`--raw` restores
the bare-slug form). Start a new translation from the shipped Latin table,
edit a couple of entries, check it, and render with it -- every line below
is real, not transcribed:

```sh
$ dune exec colitur -- lang --dump la > my-lang.ini
$ sed -i \
    -e 's/^ef-circumcision = .*/ef-circumcision = My Own Circumcision Text/' \
    -e 's/^ef-epiphany = .*/ef-epiphany = My Own Epiphany Text/' \
    my-lang.ini
$ dune exec colitur -- lang --check my-lang.ini
my-lang.ini: 725 of 725 celebrations named, 0 missing, 0 unknown
$ dune exec colitur -- day 2026 --lang ./my-lang.ini | head -1
2026-01-01 thursday christmastide - ef-circumcision class-1 white My Own Circumcision Text
```

`--check` reports what a language file is still missing, and rejects any
entry naming a slug that does not exist (a typo, otherwise silently dead).
`colitur lang --list` shows what this build can find; `colitur config
--show` shows the effective `--lang` (and every other setting) plus where
it came from. See `colitur(1)`'s `NAMING` section and `colitur-config(5)`
for both in full.
