Hi everyone,
How does one specify a recurring timestamp that expires beyond a date range?
e.g.
** Do something
every Sunday from <2010-09-03 Sun +1w> to <2010-11-07 Sun> but not beyond.
I looked at the the diary library briefly, but didn't find anything
obvious. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

I saw a recent discussion on the list, but don't remember the
conclusion. I don't think expiring events are possible currently.
When I no longer need a repeated task, I simply remove the repeater
cookie (+1w in your example above), mark the task as done for the
final time, and archive it.

Hi Suvaya,
this has come up many tomes on the mailing list, and
the various answers are covered by the FAQ.

Sorry, I should have looked in the FAQ. I had stumbled on the
=diary-block= function but could not figure out how to possibly use
it. Thank you very much. Works perfectly now.
