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 [iv]Calendar data into Emacs diary files and vice versa.
+for importing iCalendar (and the earlier vCalendar format) data into
+Emacs diary files and vice versa.
- Importing should work correctly for ``ordinary'', i.e. non-recurring,
-events. Recurring events may not be imported correctly, if they are
-imported at all. Exporting of diary files into iCalendar files should
-work correctly for most diary entries. Please note that
-@file{icalendar.el} is work in progress, so usage may evolve in future.

-@subsection Usage
+ Importing works for ``ordinary'' (i.e. non-recurring) events, but (at
+present) may not work correctly (if at all) for recurring events.
+Exporting of diary files into iCalendar files should work correctly for
+most diary entries. Please note that @file{icalendar.el} is work in
+progress, so usage may evolve in future.
To activate the package, use @code{(require 'icalendar)}.
@findex icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer
The command @code{icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer} extracts
iCalendar data from the current buffer and adds it to your (default)
-diary file. It can be used interactively, or for automatic extraction
-of iCalendar data; for example with the VM mail reader one could use:
+diary file. This function is also suitable for automatic extraction of
+iCalendar data; for example with the Rmail mail client one could use:
@example
-(add-hook 'vm-select-new-message-hook 'icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer)
+(add-hook 'rmail-show-message-hook 'icalendar-extract-ical-from-buffer)
@end example
@findex icalendar-import-file
- The function @code{icalendar-import-file} can be used
-non-interactively to import an iCalendar file. @strong{Caution:} the
-contents of the target diary file are @emph{deleted} by default! It is
-highly recommended to use a dedicated diary file for importing. For
-example:
+ The command @code{icalendar-import-file} imports an iCalendar file.
+@strong{Caution:} the contents of the target diary file are
+@emph{deleted} by default! It is highly recommended to use a dedicated
+diary file for importing. For example:
@example
(icalendar-import-file "/here/is/calendar.ics" "/there/goes/ical-diary")
@end example
@noindent
-The import file can be added to the diary using an @code{#include}
-directive. @xref{Fancy Diary Display,,, elisp, The Emacs Lisp Reference
-Manual}.
+You can use an @code{#include} directive to add the import file contents

@findex icalendar-convert-diary-to-ical
- Use @code{icalendar-convert-diary-to-ical} to interactively export an
-Emacs diary file to iCalendar format. @strong{Caution:} the contents of
-the target file are @emph{deleted} by default!
