Is it possible to set recurring dates just for weekdays? I have a number
of recurring tasks which are only relevant on work days, so I'd like to
have them only appear on monday to friday. Is there anything I can do to
accomplish this?

Thanks, Paul.

  If you only need a reminder (and not a TODO) you can use a diary-sexp:
  
  ** Daily meeting
     SCHEDULED: <%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 2 3 4 5))>
  
  However, if you use it as a TODO item that you mark as DONE, your only option
  (AFAIK) is to define separate recurring appointments for each of the weekdays.
  
  The problem is that diary-sexp don't really 'recur' in the org-mode sense;
  when you mark them as DONE, the whole series is done. I would be a nice
  feature, but I can imagine it'd be hard to implement[1].
  
  Best wishes,
  Dirk.
  
  [1] hope this challenges someone ;)

    That's an option I hadn't considered - thanks Dirk, I'll give that a go.
