The docstring of diary-date-forms says The patterns on the list must be MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and should not match any portion of the diary entry itself, just the date component. Originally I thought this would exclude the separator from the date component (so that I had to deal with it myself). But the patterns are designed the other way round. For the regexp matcher the separator is an important part of the date component. So I suggest to modify the docstring of diary-date-forms to say something like The patterns on the list must be MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE and should not match any portion of the diary entry itself, just the date component. Here the first character following the date itself is considered part of the date. Actually, this is not completely true either, and it becomes relevant if one wants to indent the diary entries for which the `backup' mechanism of diary-european-date-forms applies. If one has the diary entries 18/12/2011$ foo bar 18/12/2011 foo baz 18 December foo bar the first two entries are indented as one might expect it; yet the third one is not indented (i.e., with `backup' all whitespace characters following immediately the date become part of the date) In GNU Emacs 24.0.92.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-12-14 on regnitz Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.10706000
