Hi,
I'm trying to understand the syntax (e.g. ‘11am+2:15’) for specifying
the end time of an event, from (info "(org)The date/time prompt")
It works okay if I do org-deadline with 11am+2:15
* test 3
DEADLINE: <2021-05-09 Sun 11:00-13:15>
but if I do 11pm+2:15 then it gets confused:
* test 4
DEADLINE: <2021-05-09 Sun 23:00-25:15>
and when I next call the agenda, I get an error:
org-duration-to-minutes: Invalid duration format: "+1:15"
Also, I couldn't see any mention in the documentation of
org-agenda-default-appointment-duration -- is that worth mentioning in
the node, e.g. after ‘11am+2:15’ ⇒ same as above
"If you do not specify an end time, then you can provide a default
duration by setting org-agenda-default-appointment-duration."
Best wishes, Stephen
