Diary formatting problem

Diary formatting problem

[Dave C. Nelson]

I'm having a problem with displaying the diary within org mode. For
example, if I have a diary entry like:

Tuesday
	7:00-8:30 Item 1
		Item 2
		Item 3

Org mode doesn't format this properly. Items 2 and 3 don't appear with
item 1, they appear after all my todo items, but with no time.  Using
calendar and then displaying the dairy results in output that gets
formatted correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

For both Org and Emacs diary, these consist in three diary entries for
tuesday: one at 7:00-8:30, the other two are not scheduled.  

Then Org only display "Item 1" in the time-grid, and append the other
two at the and of the day.  

The diary display looks it is correct, but it's just because the display
is not aware of anything like the time-grid.

Maybe use 

     7:00-8:30 Item 1, 2 and 3 

if all the three items are scheduled at 7:00.   or use

     7:00-8:30  Item 1
     8:30-10:00 Item 2
     ...

if you want all items to be displayed in the time-grid.

HTH,
