For example: * every month on the first Tuesday of the month. * every month on the third Sunday of the month. * every first and third Wednesday of the month. Taking “first Tuesday of the month”, if I set it this month on <2009-11-15 Sun>, it should next repeat on <2009-12-20 Sun> and so on each month. These do not do what I want: * <2009-11-15 Sun +1m> * <2009-11-08 Sun ++1m> * <2009-11-08 Sun .+1m> Each of these next repeats on <2009-12-15 Tue>, the wrong date. How can I specify a repeating event to Org mode that achieves what I described above? -- \ “Nature is trying very hard to make us succeed, but nature does | `\ not depend on us.
