However, I tried to get it to work to allow 'insert diary entry' to format as I want but I could not get it to work. Can anyone else please help me? I have looked at the Calendar group/diary subset to customise this but I can find nothing to show 'insert diary entry' to customise to the format I want (ie with dayname -either abbreviated or in full : %a, %A). I have searched .emacsfiles on the internet & looked in emacs manual (where it seems to suggest this can be done but doesn't give an example!). I look forward to some more help,thanks -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Diary-insert-date-formatting-tp24881256p24887418.html Sent from the Emacs - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
