Commands to Add to the Diary
While in the calendar, there are several commands to create diary
entries:
- i d
- Add a diary entry for the selected date (
insert-diary-entry).
- i w
- Add a diary entry for the selected day of the week (
insert-weekly-diary-entry).
- i m
- Add a diary entry for the selected day of the month (
insert-monthly-diary-entry).
- i y
- Add a diary entry for the selected day of the year (
insert-yearly-diary-entry).
You can make a diary entry for a specific date by selecting that date
in the calendar window and typing the i d command. This command
displays the end of your diary file in another window and inserts the
date; you can then type the rest of the diary entry.
If you want to make a diary entry that applies to a specific day of
the week, select that day of the week (any occurrence will do) and type
i w. This inserts the day-of-week as a generic date; you can then
type the rest of the diary entry. You can make a monthly diary entry in
the same fashion: select the day of the month, use the i m
command, and type the rest of the entry. Similarly, you can insert a
yearly diary entry with the i y command.
All of the above commands make marking diary entries by default. To
make a nonmarking diary entry, give a numeric argument to the command.
For example, C-u i w makes a nonmarking weekly diary entry.
When you modify the diary file, be sure to save the file before
exiting Emacs.
