This patch adds a new org-agenda-diary-sexp-prefix customization
option. It can be set to a regexp which is used to match the part of the
text produced by a diary sexp entry that should be treated as
deadlining/scheduling information (the "prefix"), and displayed as such
in agenda views.
For example, let's say diary-remind-message is set to
'("In " (format "%3d d." days) ": " diary-entry)
to match the default format used for upcoming deadlines in org-mode. Then
the following diary-remind entry
%%(diary-remind '(diary-date t 4 30) -14) Don't forget this birthday
will produce a line something like this:
In 7 d.: Don't forget this birthday
in agenda views. But the "In 7 d.:" part will be displayed as part of the
entry, *not* in the "prefix" column where org-mode displays deadline and
scheduling information for normal org items, which looks like this:
In 2 d.: TODO Important thing to do soon
In 7 d.: Don't forget this birthday
Deadline: TODO Do this today or else!
Setting org-agenda-diary-sexp-prefix to the regexp
"^In +[0-9]+ d\\.:"
will extract the "In x days:" part of a diary sexp entry, and display it
as the prefix (i.e. deadline/scheduling info) for the entry in agenda
views, aligning it with the prefixes from org-mode's own deadline
entries:
In 2 d.: TODO Important thing to do soon
In 7 d.: Don't forget this birthday
Deadline: TODO Do this today or else!
More generally, org-mode has access to a lot of structured information
about its own agenda entries. But a diary sexp entry hands org-mode a
lump of output text, with no structure to tell it what information is
represented by different parts of that
text. `org-agenda-diary-sexp-prefix' gives you a way of telling org-mode
how to extract scheduling and deadline information from that lump of
text.
