 Thanks for trying to help out.  I cannot discover any hint to how to
 define an end date for repeater intervals there, though.  It is
 probably obvious to professional lisp programmers.  But while I have
 done some lisp programming, this is not really my field.

Rainer,

Matt Lundin has just posted a respond (in another thread) which answers your 
question:

 Though you can't yet do this with org-mode timestamps, you can use a
 diary sexp. Does the following FAQ help?

 Thank you for your most helpful answer.  I have now been able to
 insert a relevant entry that repeats every week.  I have not been able
 to find a way to insert an end-date, though.  Can you point me to the
 relevant section of the emacs-manual?

In info: Org Mode - Dates and Times - Timestamps

third entry on that page mentions that you can use Emacs
calendar/diary sexp diary entries so you can then go to the
appropriate section in the Emacs info manual:

Emacs - Calendar/Diary - Advanced Calendar/Diary usage - Sexp Diary Entries

HTH,
eric

[Orgmode] timestamp with repeater interval

2010-10-18 Thread Rainer Thiel
I have a strange problem with timestamps with repeater intervals and
think I am doing something wrong.

I had assumed that entering in a new TODO item a timestamp like oct
19 10:00 +14w pressing C-c . would show the entry in the next 15
weeks including the day of tomorrow.  In reality, the item shows up
*only* tomorrow, but not in the next 14 weeks.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks in advance,

Rainer

Repeating tasks have a time to happen next (I usually use scheduled time
for tasks, and active timestamps for appointments, but I am not sure
that matters).  When you mark the task done, a repeating task will
automatically jump back to TODO with the repeated date.

That expression tells org to repeat that event every 14 weeks.  If you
want a repeat entry with an end date, you will need to resort to diary
expressions (see diary sexps in section 8.1 of the manual).
