The manual, section "8.3.2 Repeated tasks", says: Some tasks need to be repeated again and again. Org mode helps to organize such tasks using a so-called repeater in a DEADLINE, SCHEDULED, or plain timestamp. Examples and directions given in the page are related to DEADLINE, and a few words suggest that SCHEDULED works the same. But the page does not say how one may handle repeaters with plain timestamps. I merely would like to update them so they show the date for the next iteration, a bit like command "t d" already does on a DEADLINE repeater. Fran=C3=A7ois P.S. Someone on the list strongly advise me to avoid DEADLINE and SCHEDULED unless they are really meaningful for me, and so did I. But for many cases of events which are not heavy (birthdays are a good example), repeaters are still meaningful.
