Hello,
I'd like to note my work's holidays using remember.
For this, I have a org file (work.org for example) which contains the
following headline:
* Holidays
#+CATEGORY: Holiday
%%(diary-date 12 '(4 7) 2009) Day Off
I also created the following template to speed up the process of
entering a new holiday entri:
("Holidays" ?h "* %% (diary-date %?) Day Off" "work.org" "Holidays")
But as you can notice, this doesn't exactly create the entry I
described previously since it does:
* %% (diary-date ) Day Off
I had to insert some spaces otherwise Org tries to evaluate the Elisp
SEXP. I tried to use some backslashes in several ways like
'\%(diary-date )' but it has no effect.
The other problem is that Org ensures that the new entry has a
headline so I had to start the template with '*'. But I don't want
this since I read that the sexp entries must start at the left margin.
Could anybody give me some hints to solve these 2 issues ?
Thanks

"* %\\%(diary-date %?) Day Off"
should work.

You can use
("Holidays" ?h "* Day Off <%\\%(diary-date %?)>" "work.org" "Holidays")

Hm, well I now have this entry in my agenda view:
TueTuesday 5 January 2010
Vacation: Day Off <%%(diary-date 01 5 2010)>
The SEXP is now visible from the view which is not really nice.
Thanks

That is right - add a \n before the "<" in your template.

Ok, but the "Day off" headline seems a bit 'hackish'.
Is there a more 'traditionnal' way to do this (add vacation in my
agenda) with Org ?
Thanks
