I wrote before that this keyword is defined nowhere in [the rest of] the page. When I discussed my tagging problem, people had various opinions about "off", including "not used". You wrote that "off" must not be defined but "grasped" and it really looks so. You keep using the word "wrong" instead of showing what is right. > - "open" and "closed" appear to be some new invention You'd better explain this:
<times_for_days> *24/7* → open *open* [ <comment> ] *closed* [ <comment> ] → closed <day_list> *off* → closed > - daily, weekly, monthly don't exist in that form.

Note: "Jun-Aug: Su 10:30-16:00" (colon) "The general syntax for the value" (which?) mo md: hh:mm-hh:mm My goal was to untangle all that for the users and they seem to like it. The best way to make what you mean understood is to write the correct diagram line and change it. >> I know that the diagram is wrong […] > …and you don't mind that mappers follow the wrong diagram? Please don't isolate a phrase fragment from its context to have it mean what you want. What I said is that I struggled like mad to find how to tag a trivial OH, I followed contradictory advices and I still didn't and don't know how to do it right. ??? Fr 14:00-22:00 ??? I said that *that part of *the diagram is wrong.

(3) people applauded the gift and thanked for having found something more comprehensible (4) the gift is mostly FOR YOUR, and you can put anything right instead of repeating it's wrong; keep it simple and even simpler if possible. How can you say that my diagram is causing mistakes if it's been written to avoid tagging randomly all the advices I received and if it seems to have people want to tag opening hours instead of shudder? My best advice is that you start your page by defining something clear like: The opening-hours tag value is made of successive tokens. The tokens describe a period of opening or closing time, according to the keyword ??? it contains. The tokens are applied successively left to right, each may override the timetable built so far. (for example closing a part of a previously opened period) The keyword ??? determines the initial state: always open or always closed. Please don't say that it's wrong but say what is right. This is my last message. I'm afraid I really have other things to do. All the best, have a good time. André.
