For a task only repeated 3 times, I settled on giving each instance a separate entry. If it is a complex item with several subitems, the command org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift command helps a lot. ,----[ (info "(org)Structure editing") ] | `C-c C-x c' | Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it. You | will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can | also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted. | This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks | related to a series of lectures to prepare. For more details, see | the docstring of the command `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'. `---- hth _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
