It worked great for long, passive events that I only wanted to see the beginning and end of, with a terse construct. Listing many dates was great too, only stripping the current date for any appearance in the agenda: * Bar Event <2013-07-08 Mon>,<2013-07-10 Wed>,<2013-07-12 Fri> Monday 8 July 2013 foo: Bar Event ,<2013-07-10 Wed>,<2013-07-12 Fri> At some point (I think between 7.8 and 7.9) all dates stopped appearing in the description part of agenda lines, so now all that shows is: Sunday 7 July 2013 foo: Some Event .. This is not as useful, as I could already put dates that I didn't want visible on a following line. I've searched the org-adenda options but haven't found a way to affect this behaviour. I haven't looked at the code yet :). How much effort would it be to do this? Showing all dates in agenda descriptions would be alright too. My next choice might be to do: * Foo ** Foo starts <2013-07-07 Sun> ** Foo ends <2013-08-07 Wed> But I'm open to other ideas. Thanks, Bryan
