I've been playing around with org mode and I'm confused about the
behavior of timestamps that are specified using sexps when displayed
in the agenda. Specifically, if I schedule a TODO and specify a
timestamp using a sexp, the TODO is not carried forward if it is
past due. It does show on the day it was scheduled, but if the TODO
is not done, the TODO is not carried forward as the manual says it
should.
If I don't use a sexp timestamp, the TODO is carried forward if past
due as expected.
I can't find anything in the manual that suggests sexp timestamps
are treated differently.
Yes, the manual is not complete here. I am adding the following text:
You may use time stamps with repeaters in scheduling and deadline
entries. Org-mode will issue early and late warnings based on the
assumption that the time stamp represents the nearest instance of
the repeater. However, the use of diary sexp entries like
<%%(diary-float t 42)>
in scheduling and deadline timestamps is limited. Org-mode does not
know enough about the internals of each sexp function to issue
early and
late warnings. However, it will show the item on each day where the
sexp entry matches.
I hope this clarifies things.
