Subject: 26.1: calendar: docstring error for variable calendar-mode-line-format
Date: Thu, 2 Jan 2020 00:07:24 -0500

The docstring for variable calendar-mode-line-format makes incorrect
claims about the availability of a symbol `date`. It says,

 "...
  During evaluation, the variable `date' is available as the date
  ...
  Here is an example
  ...
  (list
   \"\"
   \\='(calendar-hebrew-date-string date)
   \\='(let* ((year (calendar-extract-year date))
  ...
 "

However, when I try to use that feature, emacs responds

  list: Symbol’s value as variable is void: date

The functions do seem to work without the `date` argument.
