How can I schedule a weekly class that lasts for a limited period of
time? (org-class)

Org-mode offers a convenient diary sexp function for setting up a
recurring appointment that lasts for a certain period of time, such as
a class. It is called org-class and it can be entered as follows:

** Class 7:00pm-9:00pm
   <%%(org-class 2009 2 16 2009 4 20 1 10)>

The function above schedules an appointment for every Monday (1)
between February 16 and April 20, 2009, except for ISO week 10 (March
1 to March 7).

If you would prefer not to place the timestamp in the headline, you
can use the following format:

** Class
%%(org-class 2009 2 16 2009 4 20 1 10) 7:00pm-9:00pm Class

Why do you have to repeat the name of the event in the org-class, why
cannot it not take the name from the heading?


Best wishes,
