google calendar - Does iCalendar format allow overlapping dates? -
i generating icalendar feed consumed other web services. wondering if icalendar file format allows overlapping events, example:
begin:vcalendar version:2.0 calscale:gregorian prodid:-//fabricam calendar//en begin:vevent uid:event1@fabricam.com dtstart:20151009t170000 dtend:20151011t110000 summary:event 1 -- oct 09 oct 11 end:vevent begin:vevent uid:event2@fabricam.com dtstart:20151010t170000 dtend:20151020t110000 summary:event 2 -- oct 10 oct 20 end:vevent end:vcalendar
note second event starts in middle of first event. feed validates perfectly. when import in google calendar some/all events overlapping dates skipped.
i wondering if behavior described in specs. or should test feed consumers see how behave?
there nothing can't have overlapping events. happens time ! on other hand, have dtstart/dtend in floating time (as opposed utc or local time timezone). events may not end think / google may not type of events, given span multiple days.
