It's mostly used for viewing your diary quickly from within a Planner
buffer.  The diary section doesn't publish well by default.

Try adding something like the following to your planner settings file
(.emacs or whatever).

(defun planner-diary-insert-diary (&optional force)
  "Insert the fancy diary for the day into the day plan file.
If FORCE is non-nil, insert a diary section even if there is no
`planner-diary-string' in the buffer."
  (interactive "P")
  ;; sanity check
  (let ((date (planner-diary-get-name)))
    (unless (string-match planner-date-regexp date)
      (error "Cannot insert diary in this buffer"))
    (planner-diary-update-section
     date ; file
     planner-diary-string ; title
     (concat "<example>\n" (planner-diary-get-diary-entries     ; text
      (planner-filename-to-calendar-date  ; date
       date)
      planner-diary-number-of-days
      planner-diary-file)
       "\n</example>")
     force)))

This is nearly the same as the version of `planner-diary-insert-diary'
that is found in planner-diary.el, with the exception that it
surrounds the diary text with "<example>" and "</example>".  This
should cause the newlines to be preserved during publishing and make
the columns line up.

Hopefully this helps; I haven't tested it myself.
