The following MWE has two problems:
- Events on the same day do not display properly.
- I don't know how to introduce a line break
The second problem is interesting as it could be a solution to the first problem.
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{chronology}
\begin{document}
\begin{chronology}*[2]{2007}{2017}{\the\linewidth}
\event{\decimaldate{01}{03}{2010}}{first event}
\event{\decimaldate{01}{03}{2010}}{second event}
\event{\decimaldate{01}{03}{2014}}{this is a very long description that I\\ want to break manually}
\end{chronology}
\end{document}
\tikzset{eventlabel/.append style={align=center}}
. I think this is better thanchronosys
, actually, though it certainly contains some basic muck ups.
