I'm curious if using the decimal point on the numeric keyboard instead of the ":" colon would be the simplest solution in time durations too ... e.g 14:00+1,30. (add one hour 30 minutes). But knowing how clever the parser is that might step on the shoes of other hidden cleverness I am unaware of. _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
