I see that the agenda is clever enough to recognise if a time range has been typed into the heading. However, this time range is not exported by the icalendar code. Here's a simple example, independent of org-agenda-diary-entry, although in reality, example 2 would be the type of entry I normally make. if I have a test.org file containing: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * <2010-01-16 Sat 08:00-08:30> example 1 * <2010-01-16 Sat> example 2 09:00-09:30 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- then when I view the agenda I see: Saturday 16 January 2010 test: 8:00- 8:30 example 1 8:00...... ---------------- test: 9:00- 9:30 example 2 10:00...... ---------------- [There's an extra space before 'example 2', which I'm not sure about.] So far, so good - the agenda has parsed 09:00-09:30 from the headline. But now if I make an ics file (e.g. by 'C-c C-e i' in test.org) the start and end time of the event are not recognised. Here's a relevant snippet from test.ics: BEGIN:VCALENDAR ... DTSTART:20100116T080000 DTEND:20100116T083000 SUMMARY: example 1 CATEGORIES:test ... DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20100116 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20100117 SUMMARY: example 2 09:00-09:30 What I *think* I'd like is that for the 2nd calendar entry is DTSTART:20100116T0900 DTEND:20100116T0930 Is that sensible/possible? Alternatively, how about org-agenda-diary-entry parsing the time specification and writing the date and time within angle brackets?
