What is wrong (if you can call it that) is that the actual argument list to the org-diary-class function depends on the settings of a couple of variables: calendar-date-style and/or european-calendar-style. As I have the former set to 'iso, in my case I need to specify dates in the Y M D order: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * TODO Class 10:00am-12:00am <%%(org-diary-class 2010 10 18 2011 2 12 3)> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- You may need to do the same. I've cc-ed the org-mode list for others to be aware of this as well. --Multipart_Sun_Oct_24_18:51:18_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII -- Eric S Fraga GnuPG: 8F5C 279D 3907 E14A 5C29 570D C891 93D8 FFFC F67D --Multipart_Sun_Oct_24_18:51:18_2010-1 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
