Repeated tasks #

Documentation.

Using a +1m says the date shift is exactly one month:

** TODO Pay the rent
   DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue +1m>

Using ++1w shifts the date by at least one week, but also by as many weeks as it takes to get this date into the future. However, it stays on a Sunday, even if you called and marked it done on Saturday:

** TODO Call Father
   DEADLINE: <2008-02-10 Sun ++1w>

Using .+1m will shift the date to one month after today:

** TODO Check the batteries in the smoke detectors
   DEADLINE: <2005-11-01 Tue .+1m>
