+1 for this feature. Also, I think our desire for such a feature could be met with a calendar-view, perhaps re-using some org-table or org-columns source? I'm envisioning I would very much like something akin to an ASCII 4-day calendar view (like the default Google Calendar view). Even if we could line up four days' agenda views horizontally (with an appointment-style timeline), I would find this useful. -- Jeffrey Horn Graduate Lecturer and PhD Student in Economics George Mason University (704) 271-4797 jh...@gmu.edu jrhorn...@gmail.com http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
