I'm trying to specify a date relative to another date in an org file.
I've tried to adapt one of the examples from worg, with :
<%%(= 7 (- (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian date)
(calendar-absolute-from-gregorian (02 02 2010))))>
to get the date one week after the 2nd of february 2010. Bad sexp...
What should I use ?
Julien.

Quote the date: ... '(02 02 2010)
as it is trying to evaluate the function "02" otherwise.

I'm trying to make it reusable by defining a function in my .emacs :
(defun diary-relative (n day)
"Diary entry that will always appear N days from day"
(=
(calendar-absolute-from-gregorian date)
(+ n (calendar-absolute-from-gregorian day))))
I try to use it with a sexp like :
<%%(diary-relative (7 '(09 15 2010)))>
which doesn't work. I really need to seriously read about lisp
programming...

Possibly! ;-)
Try <%%(diary-relative 7 '(09 15 2010))>
as the arguments to a function should not be in ()s.
