>From the org manual: ,----[8.1. Timestamps, deadlines, and scheduling] | DIARY-STYLE SEXP ENTRIES | For more complex date specifications, Org mode supports using the | special sexp diary entries implemented in the Emacs calendar/diary | package. For example | | * The nerd meeting on every 2nd Thursday of the month | <%%(diary-float t 4 2)> `---- Here's how to schedule the examples above: * First Tuesday of month <%%(diary-float t 2 1)> * Third Sunday of month <%%(diary-float t 0 3)> * First or third Wednesday of month <%%(or (diary-float t 3 1) (diary-float t 3 3))> Best, Matt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
