I don't think so. But what I am also missing is a clear idea on
*how* this event should be generated and *how* it should be
displayed. Apparently you do not want the event listed in the
agenda, but you say "maybe a special font". If the event is not
listed, what else should be in a general font?
I can think of several ways to do this:
1) a small marker (such as a star) in front of every day in the
specific period, with a link to the event that caused it. I'd see at a
glance that the days is special and if I need to know the details,
they are just a click away. Problem: if several periods cover the
same day, what does the link point to? There could be one star per
special event, as long as their number remains reasonable.
2) Another visual marker for the days concerned, such as a special
typeface (difficult, since bold and italic are already taken), or a
different color. Problem: how to get at more detailed information? It
could be shown in the minibuffer when the cursor is at that day, for
example.
As for generating the event, a list of day ranges would be just fine.
They could have some property attached to them to distinguish them
from ordinary events.
Konrad.
