Recurrence on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

Recurrence on Monday, Wednesday and Friday

[Cecil Westerhof]

I started today to play with org-mode and agendaview. I like what I see.
But I want something to reoccur every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Is
this possible, or do I need to generate three different entries?

I think we need another property which can define a lisp lambda to be used for
calculating which dates a task will next will fall on, based on the current
SCHEDULED date.

Look here: (info "(Org)Time Stamps")

,----[ TIME STAMP WITH REPEATER INTERVAL ]
| A time stamp may contain a _repeater interval_, indicating that it
| applies not only on the given date, but again and again after a
| certain interval of N days (d), weeks (w), months(m), or years(y).
`----

This task will appear on monday, wednesday, friday, each week starting
from this week:

,----
| * Pick up Sam at school 
|   <2005-05-16 lun +1w>
|   <2007-05-16 Wed +1w>
|   <2007-05-18 ven +1w>
`----

You can also use diary-float:

,----[ DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES ]
| For more complex date specifications, Org-mode supports using the
| special sexp diary entries implemented in the Emacs calendar/diary
| package.  For example
| 
|      * The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month
|        <%%(diary-float t 4 2)>
`----

HTH,

You can already use a diary sexp in a time stamp, I think that should
cover everything?
