Not all modern distributions install the BSD calendar program by
default, so a sentence like "the file format is essentially the same as
that used by the external utility `calendar'" may mislead users. But
since all the syntax is explained in the emacs manual, too, I don't see
a problem with that.
Maybe it would be a good idea to move that sentence after the example.

This example uses extra spaces to align the event descriptions of most

Although you probably will start by creating a diary manually, Emacs
provides a number of commands to let you view, add, and change diary
entries.
