In fact, it helps! Thanks However a sentence like this:
+# a class that meets every Monday evening between February 16 and April 20, 2009 ** Class 7:00pm-9:00pm <%%(and (= 1 (calendar-day-of-week date)) (diary-block 2 16 2009 4 20 2009))> is not an example of simplicity and visibility for a quite common feature! Maybe as a suggestion we could encapsulate such a huge expression in a simpler org-mode function ? Daniel PS In http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/DiaryMode#toc12 I found another suggestion which I do not know how to include in org-mode ------------------------------------ Schedule If you want to write a schedule for school or university, you need to define a block (it’s derived from diary-block) between two dates and a weekday. The following function also recognizes holidays and won’t send you to school on those days… :) (defun diary-schedule (m1 d1 y1 m2 d2 y2 dayname) "Entry applies if date is between dates on DAYNAME. Order of the parameters is M1, D1, Y1, M2, D2, Y2 if `european-calendar-style' is nil, and D1, M1, Y1, D2, M2, Y2 if `european-calendar-style' is t. Entry does not apply on a history." (let ((date1 (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (if european-calendar-style (list d1 m1 y1) (list m1 d1 y1)))) (date2 (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (if european-calendar-style (list d2 m2 y2) (list m2 d2 y2)))) (d (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian date))) (if (and (<= date1 d) (<= d date2) (= (calendar-day-of-week date) dayname) (not (check-calendar-holidays date)) ) entry))) Then: "&%%(diary-schedule 22 4 2003 1 8 2003 2) 18:00 History" ------------------------------------ 2009/12/20 Matt Lundin <m...@imapmail.org>: > Daniel Martins <daniel...@gmail.com> writes: > >> All academics here present (including of course Carsten) suffer from >> the same problem, I think >> >> >> *** Math classes >> <2009-12-10 Thu 11:00-14:00 +1w> >> >> >> will repeat forever and ever... >> >> We need to create a schedule for a period. >> >> The package "remind" (and its simple interface "wyrd") do this job >> wonderfully but I do not know how to deal with this problem in Org >> mode > > The following FAQ should help: > > http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#diary-sexp-in-org-files > > - Matt > _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
