I am fairly new to orgmode and I have just begun trying to use source
code blocks. I have a simple question that is not made clear in the
Orgmode Manual.
The manual states that to insert an Easy Template for a source code
block, use:
`<<>' `<s>' `<TAB>'
and then
`<' `l' `<TAB>'
to label it for LaTeX. But I cannot find anywhere in the manual where
the `<<>' is explained. The section on typographical conventions says
nothing about this.
Can someone tell exactly what to type to insert a template for, say,
LaTeX or emacs-lisp?
Thanks, Bill

IMHO you found an inconsistency in the documentation. `<<>' looks like
a weird doubled quoting to me.

To get a source block template for emacs-lisp easily you could type the
three keys `<' `s' `<TAB>' and then type literally "emacs-lisp".
HTH,

Marco,
Thanks very much! Now it is clear to me. I didn't see or understand
that the `<<>' was a literal `<'. So that actually makes sense to me now.
