from HTML calendar generator by Toby Driscoll
HTMLCAL creates a web page with nicely formatted monthly calendars over a date range of your choosin

htmlcal(startdate,stopdate,htmlfile,days)
function varargout = htmlcal(startdate,stopdate,htmlfile,days)
% HTMLCAL Create an HTML calendar for a range of months.
%    HTMLCAL(FIRSTMONTH,LASTMONTH) creates an HTML file with one or more
%    monthly calendars. Use 'mm/yyyy' or 'mm-yyyy' strings to specify the
%    months. You will be prompted for the name of the output file, whose
%    name will be returned as output if any output variable is given.
%
%    HTMLCAL(FIRSTMONTH,LASTMONTH,HTMLFILE) also specifies the name of the
%    output file.
%
%    HTMLCAL(FIRSTMONTH,LASTMONTH,HTMLFILE,DAYS) allows you to specify
%    which days of the week are included, as a length-7 logical vector
%    starting with Sunday. The default is [0 1 1 1 1 1 0], for M-F.
%
%    HTMLCAL by itself prompts for the first and last month as well as the
%    file name, and offers to show the calendar in a web browser. 
%
%    See also DATENUM, DATEVEC.
