I am into a process to write a convert tool from my old calendar software[1] to Org-mode. Now I do have to define something like »this event is recurring each week on Wednesday except 2011-10-26 and 2011-11-30«. I already know that complex things have to be done using sexp entries[2] but this does not seem to be possible with sexp either. Before I do have to develop a method that generates multiple distinct events for each recurring definition: is there another way to achieve this? Thanks! 1. jPilot/DateBK6/PalmOS 2. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Sexp-Diary-Entries.html -- Karl Voit
