I'd suggest to use function "org-agenda-write". You can export your agenda views to org files too! However, the formatting will be different. Probably something like: * Event A SCHEDULED: <2020-12-03 Thu 10:00-12:00> * Event B SCHEDULED: <2020-12-03 Thu 10:00-11:00> * Event C SCHEDULED: <2020-12-03 Thu 14:00-15:30> * Event D SCHEDULED: <2020-12-03 Thu 20:00-21:30> I personally do this to generate separate org-file and then generate ics file based on that and upload this ics file through WebDAV to my calendar server.
@Alan, I don't know if there is a way directly in Org to do what you want or not, but for some reason my brain goes toward copying the text (either directly from your agenda, or from Mikhail solution) into some other buffer and then doing some macro or ELisp based post-processing. But I really don't know if that's the Right Thing to do or not. I am also not someone who uses one of these "daily journal" workflows, so I can't help but wonder how you link these daily notes back to the underlying project that generated the event on the agenda in the first place. Becasue in my mind, I would jump from the agenda to the underlying project or task and be making my notes in there directly. Those linking considerations, in my mind anyway, would really dictate the rest of the workflow. Cheers, TRS-80
