Hello.
Here is a conversation from the emacs Stack Exchange question and answer website. It's from December.

A brief search of the most recent ~32k mailing list posts didn't tell me how to answer this question.
Does anyone here know?
Cheers,

Great question. I would love that functionality too (sorry; not real helpful, but a +1 vote!).

Hi David,
Thanks for bringing this up.

It's not possible to the best of my knowledge. I guess one could add a
line, e.g. ┃ on the side, indicating when the appointments run. I would
like since visual indicators are also useful. Here's an example of what
it could look like:
[icon] ┃ 7:12-14:55 Berlin Hbf--home
[icon] ┃ ┃ 8:00-14:50 Drink coffee
┃ ┃
[icon] ┃ 15:30-15:45 Catch bus
For a more "blocky" view as found on e.g. the ASOP Calendar, I think Calfw
is the right tool. I don't remember if it has any support for vertical
control of entries.
