How can I schedule a multiday event

How can I schedule a multiday event

[JJ]

How can I schedule a multiday event? I mean, for instance there is a
multiday holiday or a vacation... I don't want to schedule Day 1, Day 2,
etc.

I've tried entering an interval after C-c C-s, like 2011-05-01 - 05-10 but
that doesn't work.

How can I do this?

Hi JJ,

'info' is your friend:


8.1 Timestamps, deadlines, and scheduling
=========================================

[...]

TIME/DATE RANGE
     Two timestamps connected by `--' denote a range.  The headline
     will be shown on the first and last day of the range, and on any
     dates that are displayed and fall in the range.  Here is an
     example:

          ** Meeting in Amsterdam
             <2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu>

Ciao

    Marco

Hey Marco:

Indeed it is there, how could I've missed it. I did RTFM, but just didn't
see it there, and it is there :O)

Thanks for helping... :O)

Or you can create it from a block entry in the agenda

| Key                      | Notes                            |
|--------------------------+----------------------------------|
| C-c a a                  | Show the agenda                  |
| c                        | Show the calendar                |
| arrows                   | Move to first date               |
| C-SPC                    | Mark first date                  |
| arrows                   | Move to last date                |
| i b                      | Create a block diary entry       |
| Meeting in Amsterdam RET | Create description for the event |

This creates an entry like this:

**** Meeting in Amsterdam
<2004-08-23 Mon>--<2004-08-26 Thu>
