I was wondering how to create repeating tasks for, say, Tuesday and Thursday at noon. I found this on stack overflow: http://cl.ly/2K8c Is that really the best answer? Can this not be accomplished with symbolic expressions? Seems like a great feature for academics and students. Surely, I'm ignorant, and someone has a better solution than creating multiple repeating tasks? Thanks for any info.

AFAIK, one cannot use complex symbolic expressions with repeating tasks; the moment a headline with such an expression is marked done, it is removed from the agenda. The only solution, at the moment, is to create different entries for each desired day of the week: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Tuesday task SCHEDULED: <2010-09-14 Tue +1w> * Thursday task SCHEDULED: <2010-09-16 Thu +1w> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Best, Matt ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I haven't done a great job of keeping up with those resolutions for now, but can anyone confirm that with org-habit, that kind of scheduling will result in a consistency graph displaying habit completion for that particular day of the week ?
