I like the #+call method. But I have one additional question: The #+call: should not only execute
the source block, but also wrap the result from the source block in the org structure, so that the
call results in the same as if writing manually in org:
*** Data Checks
Here is some text
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src R
cat(SPECIES)
#+end_src
I could obviously create the org text by hand in the R function, but I do not like this. So I
would like to have something like the following, i.e. a source org block, which is then evaluated. So
* subroutine
#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC org :var SPECIES="sp1"
,*** Data Checks
,Here is some text
,#+header: :results output
,#+begin_src R
, cat(SPECIES)
,#+end_src
#+END_SRC
* call
#+CALL: foo()
This, I hoped, would result in:
#+RESULTS: foo
*** Data Checks
Here is some text
sp1
But I get an error message: No org-babel-execute function for org!
I am stuck here.
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Rainer
