Subject: Repeating timestamp with interval N times
Date: Sun, 04 Oct 2015 21:54:02 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m21tda9wyd.fsf@damtp.cam.ac.uk> (raw)
Hi,
I'd like to write a timestamp like:
** Weekly office hour
<2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 +1w>
but instead of having it occur every week until the end of time(!), I'd
like it repeated N (=8) here. I can't see how to do this easily, am I
missing something? I could use `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' but
ideally I'd like something concise like:
<2015-10-08 Thu 11:00-12:00 8+1w>
Is this likely to be feasible? I can submit a patch if it is and
someone points me in the right direction. Or, do I need to refer to
some sexp magic "DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES"? I can see how to fix it
by extending diary-cyclic to include the parameter specifying the max
number of repeats.
Thanks,
Stephen
