Subject: 28.2; iCalendar: icalendar-export-region and icalendar-export-file do
 not like YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM formats that Diary accepts
Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2023 14:48:57 +0000

I have the following entry in my diary file:

2023-09-01 16:30: [GND] Tennis

When I try to export this using `icalendar-export-region` it fails with
the following in the "*icalendar errors*" buffer.

Error in line 0 -- (error Could not parse date): ‘2023-09-01 16:30:
[GND] Tennis’

I can also try to export *all* entries in the diary file via
`icalendar-export-file`, providing the diary file at the first prompt
and a test file to export the data to.

It seems that I get repeating items, like 'Monday 17:00: Gym' or special
cyclic entries like '%%(diary-cyclic 14 2023 08 31) foo'.

I've tried this in my configured emacs, *and* in `emacs -Q`. I'm not
sure what kind of date that the icalendar functions are looking for, but
it doesn't seem like it respects the entries that Diary understands
(which is a signifigant number, it seems).

Thanks!

It might have been fixed by setting calendar-date-display-form to format
for ISO8601: ((format "%s-%.2d-%.2d" year (string-to-number month)
(string-to-number day)))
