Hey there, thank you very much, that is now perfect:
I use (setq org-agenda-format-date ;; (1) "%Y-%m-%d %A ----------------------------------------") ;; (1) (the (1) in brackets gives me an indication of where I got the initial code from) and it gives me 2019-05-15 Mittwoch ---------------------------------------- all I want :) Cheers and have a good week J Richard Lawrence writes: > Hi Johanna, > > "Prof. Dr. Johanna May" <johanna....@th-koeln.de> writes: > >> thanks for pointing me at the variable org-agenda-format-date.
