Hello all--
I've been using the babel integration with Lua and it has a bug worth noting--multi-line header argument variables that are tangled to a file will be tangled in a way lua doesn't interpret correctly.  To use a specific example:
#+NAME: csvdata#+BEGIN_EXAMPLEx,y,z,zz1,2,3,"hi"4,5,6,"hi,hi"7,8,9,"hi,hi,hi"#+END_EXAMPLE
#+BEGIN_SRC lua :var csv=csvdata :tangle test.lua
print(csv)#+END_SRC
tangles to the (python default?) following:

csv="""x,y,z,zz

1,2,3,\"hi\"

4,5,6,\"hi,hi\"

7,8,9,\"hi,hi,hi\"

"""



print(csv)
which Lua won't parse.  It would parse the following however:

csv=[=[x,y,z,zz

1,2,3,\"hi\"

4,5,6,\"hi,hi\"

7,8,9,\"hi,hi,hi\"

]=]



print(csv)
Furthermore, it will also remove the need to escape the internal double quote characters so you could have even cleaner output:

csv=[=[x,y,z,zz

1,2,3,"hi"

4,5,6,"hi,hi"

7,8,9,"hi,hi,hi"

]=]

The following trivial patch resolves it and tangles to a file that Lua can evaluate:

csv=[=[x,y,z,zz

1,2,3,"hi"

4,5,6,"hi,hig"

7,8,9,"hi,hi,hi"

]=]




print(csv)
