Subject: New slant on the "Second tuesday of the month" problem
Date: Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:45:07 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B4BB803.9060908@gmail.com> (raw)
The question of timestamps for events that occur based on the ordinal
count of weeks in the month (e.g., "every second Tuesday of the month")
has come up several times before. The bottom line is that a diary sexp
has to be used, and I understand that.
This is fine for, say, U.S. election days ("Tuesday after the first
Monday of November") because they are never postponed. However, some
repeating events like this (like work meetings) occasionally get
postponed a day or two. Normally, I use multiple headings for repeating
events that have this problem, which is easy thanks to
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift. With this, I can shift any given
occurrence right from the agenda, and even add meeting notes to the
headlines for specific meeting occurrences.
How can I achieve this with an event that *requires* a diary sexp? In
essence I would like a function
org-create-subtree-clones-from-diary-sexp that would generate N
headlines for the next N occurrences of the event in an sexp. Or, is
there another way to achieve this?
Thanks,
Dan
