Hi all,
it seem org-mode has some support for dates of the form dd.mm.[yyyy].
This is a popular notation in germany and probably elsewhere, but the
support is undocumented and apparently very limited.
For example,
06.03. => 2012-06-03
but adding a time like
03.06. 17:00 => today's date
This latter case seems equivalent to
shub shub => today's date
So for me, as I like the notation, perhaps it could be fixed to allow
for dates + times?
Alternatively, the silent failure seems dangerous and should be removed.
I'm OK with accepting no input as today, but non-parseable input
shouldn't be accepted.
I'm looking into this, but I don't think I'm likely to come up with a fix.
Cheers,
Simon
