Hello,
After the recent discussion about org-caldav I thought I would give it a
try. Unfortunately it won't work for my main diary that uses a lot of
sexps[fn:1]
From the org-caldav github page[fn:2] :
"""However, sexp-entries are insanely flexible, and there are limits as
to what the icalendar exporter will handle. For example, this here
** Regular event
<%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 3 5))>
will not be exported at all."""
However, org-agenda uses these sexps to make entries in the agenda.
Would it be possible to reuse something from org-agenda to write these
entries as org items into a file that could be uploaded using
org-caldav? Maybe org-get-entries-from-diary? Is there a huge problem
with this that I haven't noticed?
Obviously this would just be a one-way push rather than a sync.
Thanks,
Myles

[fn:1] I think I started using sexps just because org-mode can't do
e.g. "every Monday, *between these two dates*"

This is tricky. Agenda has a notion of time span, "ox-icalendar" hasn't.
So you would have to test if sexp matches for every day between some
arbitrary chosen dates.
"ox-icalendar.el" relies on "icalendar.el" library, bundled with Emacs,
for converting diary entries. Alas, it doesn't handle sexp entries
either.

I use `org-class' for that.
