[Orgmode] Re: Timestamp format questions
Hi Joost, Joost Kremers joostkrem...@fastmail.fm writes: Most pressing: how can I say that a certain event occurs every week on a certain day and time, but only for a limited period? E.g., for classes I teach I want to be able to say 'this class takes place from April 8 through July 8, every Thursday from 12.00 to 14.00. If I write: 2010-04-08 Thu 12:00-14.00 +1w I get the correct time and interval, but of course it doesn't stop at the correct date. However, if I write 2010-04-08 Thu 12:00-14.00 +1w--2010-07-08 Thu then it shows up *every day* in the agenda view, not just on Thursdays. (That actually looks like a bug to me, but perhaps I'm doing something wrong.)
