For more complex repeaters like that, you need to use a diary sexp li= ke
this:

<%%(diary-float t 4 3>

The 4 specifies the 4th day of the week
(0 =3D Sunday through 6 =3D Saturday).

The 3 specifies the first Thursday.

This is adapted from an example in the Org documentation; refer to
"Diary-style sexp entries" under "8.1 Timestamps, deadlines = and scheduling".


I have an entry in my Org files which has two of these, to show up on
both the second and the fourth Tuesday of every month.

HTH, Jan
