I have used to use classes in the past, but I now use a setup close to
Eric's. One reasons is for good org-caldav support. Here's how I
schedule my Spanish classes this term:
(with-temp-buffer
(insert "* Spanish course
** Spanish class
<2014-10-07 Tue 18:30-20:30>")
(goto-line 2)
(org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift 8 "+1w")
(save-excursion (insert "** Spanish class
<2014-10-09 Thu 18:30-20:30>\n"))
(org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift 7 "+1w")
(goto-char (point-min)) (org-sort-entries nil ?t)
;; like C-c ^ t
(buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))
Of course in practice, this is easier to "interactively", but it's
hard to describe briefly.
Is there anything you miss about `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'¹?
Would you be happy if it asked if you want to skip some weeks
initially? Or do you not like the extra space it takes?
