Thanks Kyle. Noted.
I am muddling my way through
[info:org#Creating timestamps]
[info:org#The date/time prompt]
and see that org-evaluate-time-range does nothing for
<2019-01-04 Fri 11:00-12:15>
which was created using the “11am+2:15” style from
— quote
You can specify a time range by giving start and end times or by
giving a start time and a duration (in HH:MM format). Use one or two
dash(es) as the separator in the former case and use ’+’ as the
separator in the latter case, e.g.:
11am-1:15pm ⇒ 11:00-13:15
11am--1:15pm ⇒ same as above
11am+2:15 ⇒ same as above
Parallel to the minibuffer prompt, a calendar is popped up(2). When
you exit the date prompt,
— quote ends
exporting that to ASCII in a buffer transforms the time range to
<2019-01-04 Fri 11:00>–<2019-01-04 Fri 12:15>
Now, that formatting put back in the Org buffer does work for
org-evaluate-time-range, as follows:
<2019-01-04 Fri 12:34>-<2019-01-04 Fri 12:35> 00:01
