How to create a highlighted calendar using LaTex?

Question

I am not looking for a GANTT planning. I am looking for a calendar with the deadline on it.

Do you know what is the best way to do that with LaTeX ?

Thanks

If you want a simple calendar with a deadline circled, you can do so easily with Tikz. From their documentation:

\begin{tikzpicture}
\calendar (mycal) [dates=2000-01-01 to 2000-01-31,week list];
\draw[red] (mycal-2000-01-20) circle (4pt);
\end{tikzpicture}

gives

                 1 2
 3  4  5  6  7  8  9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
31

with a red circle around 20.

The manual has examples of some pretty complicated calendars as well.
