@section Importing and Exporting Diary Entries
The icalendar package aims at providing an implementation of the
iCalendar standard, as defined in ``RFC 2445 -- Internet Calendaring and
Scheduling Core Object Specification (iCalendar)''. It provides a means
for importing iCalendar (and the earlier vCalendar format) data into
Emacs diary files and vice versa.
You can transfer diary entries between Emacs diary files and a
variety of other formats.
@vindex diary-outlook-formats
You can import diary entries from Outlook-generated appointment
messages. While viewing such a message in Rmail or Gnus, do @kbd{M-x
diary-from-outlook} to import the entry. You can make this command
recognize additional appointment message formats by customizing the
variable @code{diary-outlook-formats}.
@cindex iCalendar support
The icalendar package allows you to transfer data between your Emacs
diary file and iCalendar files, which are defined in ``RFC
2445---Internet Calendaring and Scheduling Core Object Specification
(iCalendar)'' (as well as the earlier vCalendar format).
Importing works for ``ordinary'' (i.e. non-recurring) events, but (at
present) may not work correctly (if at all) for recurring events.
