I'm wanting to make a vertical calendar with tasks listed on certain days. For instance, how can I make the code below list a task on February 19th?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[top=15mm, bottom=15mm, left=15mm, right=15mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calendar}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\calendar [dates=2016-02-01 to 2016-02-29, day list downward, month label left]
if (weekend) [black!25]
;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
First you have to give your calendar a name with the option name=mycalendar. Then you can reference the dates. In your example with mycalendar-2016-02-19. Using this name you can then place a node.
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[top=15mm, bottom=15mm, left=15mm, right=15mm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{calendar}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\calendar [dates=2016-02-01 to 2016-02-29, day list downward, month label left, name=mycalendar]
if (weekend) [black!25];
\node [anchor=base west] at (mycalendar-2016-02-19.base east) {\textbf{My Task}};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
Output:
