+<h2>4.4 Import/Export capabilities<a name="basics_import_export"></a></h2>
+<p>
+ The import and export capabilities offered by <code>calcurse</code>
+ are described below.
+</p>
+
+<h3>4.4.1 Import<a name="basics_import"></a></h3>
+<p>
+ Data in icalendar format as described in the rfc2445 specification
+ (see <a href="#links_others">links</a> section below) can be imported
+ into calcurse. Calcurse ical parser is based on version 2.0 of this
+ specification, but for now on, only a subset of it is supported.
+</p>
+<p>
+ The following icalendar properties are handled by calcurse:
+ <ul>
+ <li><code>VTODO</code> items:<br>
+ "PRIORITY", "VALARM", "SUMMARY", "DESCRIPTION"</li>
+ <li><code>VEVENT</code> items:<br>
+ "DTSTART", "DTEND", "DURATION", "RRULE", "EXDATE", "VALARM", "SUMMARY",
+ "DESCRIPTION"</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+ The icalendar "DESCRIPTION" property will be converted into calcurse format
+ by adding a note to the item. If a "VALARM" property is found, the item
+ will be flagged as important and the user will get a notification (this is
+ only applicable to appointments).
+</p>
+<p>
+ Here are the properties that are not implemented:
+ <ul>
+ <li>negative time durations are not taken into account (item is skipped)</li>
+ <li>some recurence frequences are not recognize:<br>
+ "SECONDLY" / "MINUTELY" / "HOURLY"</li>
+ <li>some recurrence keywords are not recognized
+ (all those starting with 'BY'):<br>
+ "BYSECOND" / "BYMINUTE" / "BYHOUR" / "BYDAY" / "BYMONTHDAY"<br>
+ "BYYEARDAY" / "BYWEEKNO" / "BYMONTH" / "BYSETPOS"<br>
+ plus "WKST"</li>
+ <li>the recurrence exception keyword "EXRULE" is not recognized</li>
+ <li>timezones are not taken into account</li>
+ </ul>
+</p>
+
+<h3>4.4.2 Export<a name="basics_export"></a></h3>
+<p>
+ Two possible export formats are available: <code>ical</code> and
+ <code>pcal</code> (see section <a href="#links_others">Links</a> below
+ to find out about those formats).
