iCal format for recurring events with start time and end time

Question

Let's say I want to schedule a team meeting every monday at 10 am to 5pm. What would be the ical format for this schedule?

So far I have this but am not sure how to indicate the end time. Considering the event recurs forever

DTSTART:19971022T100000 RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO

you need to specify a `DTEND` to specify the length of the meeting, otherwise it will be a 1 day long meeting — Auberon Vacher, Jul 11 '16 at 14:48
@oberron Thanks for your response. I got mixed up between RRULE and VEVENT not sure if adding DTEND to RRULE will be syntactically correct. — kabangi julius, Jul 11 '16 at 16:02

Given your confusion here is a possible VEVENT example:

BEGIN:VEVENT UID:uuid@yourdomain.com DTSTART:19971022T100000 DTEND:19971022T170000 RRULE:FREQ=WEEKLY;INTERVAL=1;BYDAY=MO END:VEVENT

also keep in mind that as per the RFC5545, the first instance will be included in the list of occurences (with your example a Wednesday).
