Timestamps: overnight repeater possible?

Timestamps: overnight repeater possible?

[Thomas Plass]

Hi subscribers,

can multiday timestamp ranges be made repeatable?  Case in point: I'd
like to create the timestamp(s) for an "after-hour" time span ranging
from 18:00 in the evening til the following morning 10:00, repeated
every day.

I tried these:

* Overnighter (listed for 2000-01-03 and -04 only)
  <2000-01-03 Mo 18:00>--<2000-01-04 Di 10:00>

* Overnighter (has cookie, but doesn't repeat beyond -04)
  <2000-01-03 Mo 18:00 +1d>--<2000-01-04 Di 10:00 +1d>

* 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
  <2000-01-03 Mo 18:00-10:00 +1d>

Agenda week view looks like this (when opening the last timestamp):

Week-agenda (W01):
Montag      3 Januar 2000 W01
  manual:     18:00...... (1/2):  Overnighter (listed for 2000-01-03 and -04 only)
  manual:     18:00...... (1/2):  Overnighter (has cookie, but doesn't repeat beyond -04)
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Dienstag    4 Januar 2000
  manual:     10:00...... (2/2):  Overnighter (listed for 2000-01-03 and -04 only)
  manual:     10:00...... (2/2):  Overnighter (has cookie, but doesn't repeat beyond -04)
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Mittwoch    5 Januar 2000
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Donnerstag  6 Januar 2000
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Freitag     7 Januar 2000
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Samstag     8 Januar 2000
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)
Sonntag     9 Januar 2000
  manual:     18:00-10:00 6 o'clock Repeater (repeats, but is overnight only notionally)

I'd like the "Overnighter" to be listed for every day.

Thanks for any suggestions!

Thomas

I think that is what I also had inn mind, but I care more about the
resheduling part, wouldn't that work with sheduling it on day x and then
have a deadline day x+1?
