For me this is about the date/time prompt when capturing. I had a look at org-time-stamp and had the impression that the actual parsing of the users input is done in org-read-date. But obviously my basic elisp knowledge isn't up to such complex functions. Back to square one: Does anybody know How to customise Emacs/org-mode so that dotted European dates are parsed correctly at the date/time prompt? Ciao, Gregor -- -... --- .-. . -.. ..--.. ...-.-
