Yes of course, another timestamp!

I would like to generate a list of headers, one for each session (with the actual date of the session). Maybe I will try to see how org-class computes all the dates, then I can clone the header with the appropriate time-shift/new date. > Hope it helps, > Rasmus Thank you for your help, Joseph -- Joseph Le Roux RCLN, LIPN, Université Paris 13 Tel: +33 (0) 1 49 40 40 81 Fax: +33 (0) 1 48 26 51 12 URL: http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~leroux
