Here was my initial thought: - The org-mode manual itself on repeated tasks does not mention that kind of=C2=A0repeating task syntax --- http://orgmode.org/manual/Repeated-tasks.html#Repeated-tasks --- Only +1, ++1, and .+1 are discussed - The /org-habit/ page, on the other hand, does mention such syntax (well, kind of) --- http://orgmode.org/manual/Tracking-your-habits.html --- Note that this page uses .+2d/4d syntax Anyway, I very likely missed something, but I can't find the specific syntax you're looking for in the manual sections above. If the functionality of org-habit /does/ do what you want, perhaps you could switch to that? If you use this syntax widely, that could be a pain. Let me know what you think? Also, please point to the documentation illustrating the +1m -7d usage. I'd like to see it as well as I'm curious about the various time stamp options. Thanks!
