Subject: Extended-period events in agenda views
Date: Mon, 1 Nov 2010 12:32:38 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6E1780D8-187C-47BE-A1C1-C6EB746C8BE7@fastmail.net> (raw)
Hello all,
I have been a happy org-mode user for a while, using more and more of
org-mode for more and more things. By now I have completely replaced
my use of iCal (on the Mac) by the org-mode agenda, with no regrets.
However, there is one feature that I am still trying to get into my
agenda view, but I didn't find a way to do it yet.
There are a couple of long-lasting "events" that I would like to show
in my agenda view. A typical example would be school vacation periods,
but there are others: absences of a colleague, availability of some
instrument, etc, Their common feature is that they can last very long
(several weeks) and that they don't really occupy my agenda. I just
want to know when planning something if a given day is in period X or
not. So I'd like to see at a glance (using a specific font, color, one-
letter prefix etc.) if a day falls into a certain predefined period.
Simply adding a corresponding event to my agenda leads to visual
clutter: it gets marked on every single day of the period.
Is there any way to get what I am looking for?
Thanks in advance,
Konrad.
