Other method of generating recurring events, instead of RDATE? #21

O.K. - last comment on this already close issue: RDATE doesn't seem to work in different (online) PIM solutions, /except/ calendar.google.com.

Even Microsoft, who co-authored the RFC for the iCalendar format, isn't supporting RDATE :-(

Please see screenshots attached:

Minimal working example was:

REM [moondate(0)-1] MSG ☸️ 六齋日
REM [moondate(0)] MSG ☸️ 六齋日
REM [moondate(1)] MSG ☸️ 六齋日
REM [moondate(2)-1] MSG ☸️ 六齋日
REM [moondate(2)] MSG ☸️ 六齋日
REM [moondate(3)] MSG ☸️ 六齋日

REM [moondate(0)] MSG 🌑 Neumond
REM [moondate(1)] MSG 🌓 Erste Hälfte
REM [moondate(2)] MSG 🌕 Vollmond
REM [moondate(3)] MSG 🌗 Zweite Hälfte

REM AT [sunrise()] MSG ☀️↑ Sonnenaufgang
REM AT [sunset()] MSG ☀️↓ Sonnenuntergang

As already written in https://github.com/jspricke/python-remind/issues/20#issuecomment-1963528318:

For the display issues you can probably write a script that converts the rdates to separate events as a workaround.

Yes, I'm aware of this - currently trying to accomplish this.

But my "request", was an official command line switch for us Apple / Non-Google peasants :-(
