Right now the agenda view looks like:

Wednesday 13 June 2007
 Work:    15:30-17:00 Meeting <2007-06-13 Wed >

I would think the time stamp between <> is redundant.  Can we remove it from
display in the agenda buffer?  It makes long text entry look nicer.

This should work out of the box and usually does.
What exactly does your entry look like?

This is an as yet unsupported way to write a block of time,
which causes the mechanism to remove the timestamp from
the headline for agenda display.

However, I must say that I do like this syntax a lot better
that using the supported way, with two separate stamps like

   <2007-06-13 Wed 15:30>--<2007-06-13 Wed 17:00>

for specifying a range on a single day.  So I have put in
support for the alternative syntax you have been using -
this will work from 4.78.

I suggested exactly the same feature a few months ago.

Yes, I know that this was not the first time,
sorry for not giving you credit.

Carsten,

I like this new syntax better too.

I can't find it in the manual now, but I think the following syntax,
which is nearly as simple, was supported (I use it regularly):

*** Meeting 15:30-17:00 <2007-06-13 Wed>

In the agenda, the time is stripped but the date is not.  Although I
prefer the new syntax, would it be possible to strip the date in
this old syntax too?

Will the new syntax work with a repeater too?  E.g.,

*** Meeting <2007-06-03 Wed 15:30-17:00 +1w>

Thanks,
Dan

This is correct, but only works it the times are in the headline.
The new syntax also works if you place the stamp with times
somewhere in the body of the entry.

Hmmm, if necessary I could, of course.

Yes.  And you can even use S-up/down to modify the "1" and the "w".

Thanks for the clarification

Not necessary -- I'm already using the new format.  It would only
serve to clean up the agenda for some forthcoming items.  Eventually
they'll all pass.
