That's what I thought. Though things were messy in my mind because of my
appointments. But all is fine, now that I know if planner-appt.el :) I love it!

This was similar to the solution I came across a couple of hours ago, but I'm
not fully happy with it. Despite doing what I want, it fills my planner-config
file with redefined functions, wich must be checked on every planner update...

It'll do, for now. But I think the diary and the wiki publishing are too
entangled, I have to think of a way to make my calendar/plan-day-pages
integration smooth, as well as my plan-publishing/private-schedule...

Thanks anyway!
