So I've got a lot of dates which look like "M19" (month 19 after kick-off), and I would like to use this notation (or something resembling it) for deadlines and other dates. The most viable option in my view is to define an elisp function and use it as a sexp date. I guess I'll be able to figure out how to, but I thought maybe somebody else has a better idea. One drawback is that I'd have (?) to define it in/through init.el, not in the project's org-mode file, which is unfortunate as the kick-off date is project-specific. Ideas anyone? Thanks in advance, Simon
