#Usage

Use the ddate and ddate-pretty functions to do fun things.

I like to use it with dashboard like this:

(defun ela/dashboard-insert-ddate (list-size)
  "Insert the Discordian date into the dashboard."
  (let ((ddate-string (ddate-pretty)))
    (dashboard-center-line ddate-string)
    (insert ddate-string)))

(use-package dashboard
  :init (dashboard-setup-startup-hook)
  :config
  ;; Add the ddate item provider to the list.
  (add-to-list 'dashboard-item-generators
               '(ddate . ela/dashboard-insert-ddate))

  ;; Set up your items with ddate at the top.
  (setq dashboard-items '((ddate)
                          (recents   . 5)
                          (bookmarks . 5)
                          (registers . 5))))
