Do we need to improve the documentation in org-bbdb.el?  Can someone
please suggest an improvement?

Thanks.

I think something like this should work:

     anniversary: 1972-02-26 birthday


Okay, here a line from my .bbdb:

,----[ Linebreaks manually added ]
| ["FirstName" "LastName" nil nil (["Telephone" "xxx/xxxxxxxx"]
| ["Cellphone" "xxxx/xxxxxx"]) (["Home" ("Musterstr. 123") "Bremen" "Bremen" "11111" "D"])
|  ("foo@baz.de") (anniversary 1980-01-01 birthday) (timestamp . "2009-01-15")
| (creation-date . "2009-01-15") nil]
`----

I tried adding "'s, adding []'s, etc. And one combination was right, but
I can not find it anymore :(. Lost, lost my precious ...

As I said, if you use this feature, please send me just one line of your .bbdb.
I will fix the rest ;)

Thank you very much...


Oh, sorry: that was the format that one uses when interactively adding a
field to a bbdb entry. Here is a line from the bbdb file:

["First" "Last" nil nil (["Home" 212 555 1212 0] ["Mobile" 212 5555 1212 0]) (["Home" ("1 First St") "Anytown" "MA" "01234" "USA"]) ("foo@bar.com") ((creation-date . "2009-02-05") (timestamp . "2009-02-26") (anniversary . "1976-02-26 birthday\n1993-02-27 wedding")) nil]

This one includes two anniversaries (a birthday and a wedding anniversary).
For just a birthday it would look like this:

....(anniversary . "1976-02-26 birthday")

HTH,
Nick
