How to set Slack reminder for a range of dates

Question

For example, I want a reminder to appear each day in a specific channel for the days I am off. Something like:

/remind #channel @me will be on PTO 1/1/2016 until 1/5/2016

And then each day in that range a reminder will appear in the channel saying the range of dates.

What would be the command/syntax to achieve that or as close to that as possible?

[Edit: outdated, no longer works]

The following worked.

/remind #channel "@me will be on PTO from 1/1/2016 until 1/5/2016." every weekday until 1/5

It results in the following being posted every weekday at 9am in #channel

"@me will be on PTO from 1/1/2016 until 1/5/2016."
