Nice.

Ah. Previously I included the timestamps in the body of the entry
because when in SCHEDULED, they were not picked up by the calendar
export. Thanks to your nudge, I looked at the available customizations
and learnt about `org-icalendar-use-scheduled', which when set to
'(todo-start event-if-not-todo) causes SCHEDULED to be used for the
event. No more need to include the timerange in the entry body!

OK, that make sense. In this particular use case – to export a single
subtree as event to ics would therefore require to wrap the subtree
temporarily in another headline; a minor inconvenience.

Setting the region around the entry to export, or, maybe more obvious,
narrowing to the subtree with `org-narrow-to-subtree' followed by a
regular export with "C-c C-e c f RET" has the desired effect as well.

This was a useful learning experience; looking forward to composing the
next announcement mail with a much improved workflow ;)


cheers, Til
