Re: [O] Orgmode repeater intervals with end date

[Tory S. Anderson]

Thanks; oddly, that works.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** TODO Personal Meeting
   DEADLINE: <2018-01-10 Wed 16:00 .+2w>--<2018-04-18 Wed>
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I still get a daily count on every day in the interim:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(8/99):  TODO Personal Meeting
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

But I suppose I can work around that. Oddly, it doesn't seem to 
work with plain dates or with SCHEDULED: . Any idea why?
