You can either directly insert the several dates explicitly, or define a repeating date and then just delete it once it is over. If you really need this functionality, I think it would be relatively easy to hack this, using a diary sexp entry. Start with either diary-cyclic, or with diary-float, add additional arguments for the end date, and then see how dates are handled and change the function to deal with the end date. Hope this helps. - Carsten On Jun 23, 2007, at 20:59, Austin Frank wrote: > Hello! > > I'd like to specify that an event repeats weekly, but only for a month. > Ideally, I'd also be able to specify a time for the weekly event.
