;;; Commentary:

;; This module recognizes entries of the form
;;
;;     DIARY: ....
;;
;; and puts them in your ~/.diary (or remember-diary-file) together
;; with an annotation. Planner-style dates (yyyy.mm.dd) are converted
;; to yyyy-mm-dd so that diary can understand them.
;;
;; For example:
;;
;; DIARY: 2003.08.12 Sacha's birthday
;;
;; is stored as
;;
;; 2003.08.12 Sacha's birthday [[/home/sacha/notebook/emacs/emacs-wiki/remember-diary.el]]
;;
;; To use, add the following to your .emacs:
;;
;;    (require 'remember-diary)
;;    ;; This should be before other entries that may return t
;;    (add-to-list 'remember-handler-functions 'remember-diary-extract-entries)
;;
