Howdy Org-moders,
I use org from git updated weekly. I would really like to be able to
specify a timestamp for certain days of the week, e.g. M-F, or MWF,
without specifying multiple timestamps for a single headline. Doing
that for something that happens twice a week is no hassle, but doing it
five times seems like too much.
What I'd like is to have a headline like this:
** Sacrifice for Demons <2009-04-20 Mon,Wed,Fri 10:00 +1w>
** Wake Up <2009-04-20 Mon-Fri 5:45 +1w >
Is there a way to do this that I have missed? Could this feature be added?
Thanks,
Joel

You can do this with a diary sexp within org-mode. E.g., I used the
following for a class that I taught on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
January 8 through February 24:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Teach Course 1:20pm-2:35pm
<%%(let ((d (calendar-day-of-week date))) (and (or (= d 2) (= d 4)) (diary-block 1 8 2009 2 24 2009)))>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I'm an elisp amateur, but I imagine you could create your example above
with the following:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Wake up 5:45am
<%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 3 5)))>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Someone please correct me if I'm doing something wrong here.
Best,
Matt
