Hmm. According to manual, it should support multi-line string. Not sure
about sexps.
In the worst case when you absolutely want multi-line sexp to be really

The problem is that org-mode assumes that planning line must be a single
line and a lot of internal logic hard-code this assumption.

It is literally called "diary sexp". You can use any elisp sexp there,
like (let ...) or (or ...) or (function-name ...)

As a user, I read "Diary-style expression entries" in the org manual as
including my own defined diary sexps - excluding them would be a
surprise that should be documented (no, I don't want that to happen!).

Diary sexp can be a user-defined function. If your sexp needs to span
multiple lines, it is probably worth defining a function and simply
using <%%(your-function)> as a timestamp.

Sorry - I meant, I see no reason to touch the existing code. No need to

The situation is actually like this: the empty string issue doesn't

Yes, I see that in the code.
But actually I seem to have the opposite problem: I can't make the
original headline appear in the agenda. When the sexp doesn't return a
string the agenda will contain a line

Note that you can also use %%(org-anniversary ...) with slightly
different dependencies.
I also use modifications

Nice to have definitely.
I want to stick to diary sexp expressions for some complicated dates. I
have already extended the diary language to fit my needs to specify the
dates of

Where in an entry do you specify such

Hi,
I am mainly using the org agenda for day planning. But there is a
functionality I seem to miss I know from diary:
With diary, I can use arbitrary Lisp expressions to generate dates, and
those expressions can also return a string to use as non-nil return
value to generate non-constant
