Hi,
is there a generic way to specify an end date for a repeating event? I
can do something like
* 10:00-12:00 an event
<%%(org-class 2018 8 1 2018 8 31 2)>
to have something repeat every Tuesday in August, but that doesnʼt
work for other repeating intervals. Iʼd much rather be able to do
something like
* an event
<2018-08-01 Wed 10:00-12:00+1w>--<2018-08-14>
but that makes it appear in the agenda every day.
Thanks
Robert

The short answer is no.
The longer answer is to consider using
org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift. Make the entry you want and then make
the repeating entries. I use this for lectures, for instance, and then
delete particular entries that might correspond to cancelled lectures.

That will work, but it feels inelegant. I guess Iʼll stick to using
'diary-block' and similar.
Thanks

It may seem inelegant but it has some advantagesm For instance, each
lecture could have different room locations and you can add notes specific
to an individual lecture. But whatever works best for you is the best
solution!
