Re: looking for pre-existing text format for defining event dates in Leo

[Matt Wilkie]

Sounds interesting and I could see how that could be useful. I'm not aware 
of anything like that (but I've never thought to look before). I think I'd 
start by seeing what the Vim and Emacs communities might have done in this 
area (since they're old and have had lots of room and people for 
experimentation).

Hi all
thanks fro the links, that all looks very useful. I think I came across 
iCalender before but had forgotten it; rrule looks like a useful way in...

Cheers

Hi Jon,

I use Taskwarrior for the kind of activities you are describing. It
always there, in my drop down terminal and it has nice API and DOM. You
could use it in the same way and only use Leo to query Taskwarrior and
present then info you want in a outline, or use some of the Python open
source projects to go interact with Taskwarrior from Leo. Once you have
a proper terminal utility for taks possibilities are open ended and it
can serve as inspiration.

At [1] you find my curated list of TW links (descriptions are in
Spanish, but most of the links are for English documents).

For this kind of thing I just recently found
https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rrule.html
after having been looking for such a thing for some time.

If you have emacs, see how it is done in org-mode. Note also, that Leo can 
understand already an org-mode subset.

looking for pre-existing text format for defining event dates in Leo

[jkn]

Hi all
   I would quite like to use Leo to remind me of events - a bit like a 
locally-based version of Google Calendar. So (I guess) I would have a 
special node(s) with a list of events in some form:

"3rd Friday of each month; pay XXX bill"
"Aug 31st each year: Aunt Amelia's Birthday"
"23rd February: one-off concert date"

and then have a script to tell me eg. "all the events next week", or similar

I'm happy to have fun ;-) working on the script, but I wonder about the 
format for defining the events. I am imagining that there is already some 
markdown-type format for defining events like this, and I'd like to use a 
'standard' if possible. Can anyone point me at prior art for this kind of 
thing?

Thanks
Jon N
