Show APPTs every day in Agneda

Show APPTs every day in Agneda

[Michael Heerdegen]

Hi,

I've APPTs like "Vacation" that last 14 days or so.  Is there an
option/way to show such an APPT for every concerned day, and not only
for the border days, so that when I for example want to make a doctor's
appointment I see for the respective day that I'm on vacation on that
day?

TIA,

Michael.

Hi Michael,

I'm not in front of my computer, to check this, but I think that an active
date range will have this effect, i.e.

** Vacation
<start date>--<end date>

You can use C-c . to enter and edit the dates.

Best wishes,
     Neil

Hmm, no, AFAICT that's what I used to do, and it only shows the
appointment at start and end date, not between the two dates.  That's
with C-c a a btw.  I wonder why it seems to work for you...

I've just checked that it really does work for me - and yes, it does.  This
is a bit of one of my org files:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
** Bank holiday weekend

<2018-05-05 Sat>--<2018-05-07 Mon>
#+END_EXAMPLE

and here's (part of) my agenda buffer for that month:

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
Saturday    5 May 2018
  divorce:    (1/3):  Bank holiday weekend
Sunday      6 May 2018
  divorce:    (2/3):  Bank holiday weekend
Monday      7 May 2018 W19
  divorce:    (3/3):  Bank holiday weekend
#+END_EXAMPLE

Sorry, that's no solution for you, but maybe there's a clue in the detail
there?

Best wishes,
   Neil

Ha! - indeed.  It's obviously not allowed to add spaces like I used to
do:

  <2018-05-05 Sat> -- <2018-05-07 Mon>

With

  <2018-05-05 Sat>--<2018-05-07 Mon>

it works like I want.

So, thank you very much to pointing me into the right direction.

But this doesn't seem to be documented...(question to all)?


Thanks,

Michael.
