Subject: translating event sexps to org for org-caldav
Date: Sat, 19 Nov 2016 22:43:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87shqn9jky.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
After the recent discussion about org-caldav I thought I would give it a
try. Unfortunately it won't work for my main diary that uses a lot of
sexps[fn:1]
From the org-caldav github page[fn:2] :
"""However, sexp-entries are insanely flexible, and there are limits as
to what the icalendar exporter will handle. For example, this here
** Regular event
<%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 3 5))>
will not be exported at all."""
However, org-agenda uses these sexps to make entries in the agenda.
Would it be possible to reuse something from org-agenda to write these
entries as org items into a file that could be uploaded using
org-caldav? Maybe org-get-entries-from-diary? Is there a huge problem
with this that I haven't noticed?
Obviously this would just be a one-way push rather than a sync.
Thanks,
Myles
* Footnotes
[fn:1] I think I started using sexps just because org-mode can't do
e.g. "every Monday, *between these two dates*"
