Hi Matthew,

How do you do the untangling? I have been using an after-hook call to org-babel-tangle, which works quite well. It is a bit slow for large files with many code segments (like my Emacs init file at https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org <https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org>), and it requires a bit of discipline for editing only the org file and not the output file, but works well otherwise. I have never tried to de-tangle, that would require some markers in the output file I guess?

Here’s the code I use at the moment I am super happy with it, as it prevents my output files to get out of sync from the org file:

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook
          (lambda () (add-hook 'after-save-hook 'org-babel-tangle
                               'run-at-end 'only-in-org-mode)))

Best,
—Diego
