Hi,

Thanks for writing and maintaining icalendar.el.  It would be great if
icalendar.el could export fancy diary entries to .ics files.  That way
I could use Emacs to export a Jewish calendar to my smartphone.

(I know that Ulrich Greve's Jewish-calendar data export program can do
this already.  But it's missing a few features I need, the source code
is unavailable, and Mr. Greve hasn't replied to my email.)

Thanks in advance,
--robsonhill

"Fancy" sexp diary entries will now be enumerated over a period of time,
generating one iCalendar entry for each matching day.  The variables
`icalendar-export-sexp-enumeration-days' and
`icalendar-export-sexp-enumerate-all' have been introduced for
controlling this.

Entries like `diary-hebrew-date' which have been ignored before will now
be enumerated so that there appears one iCalendar event per day showing
the current hebrew date.

Other entries like `diary-anniversary' will be converted to "proper"
recurring iCalendar events just like before.  However, enumeration can
be forced with `icalendar-export-sexp-enumerate-all'.

Fixed in the trunk, rev. 117682.
