In my lectures i often have simple examples that build progressively over
several slides. In order to use klipse properly, but also for clarity, I
gneerally repeat variable declarations from slide to slide, so for
instance:
** Making Lists (Arrays)
+#NAME: js-array-historians
#+BEGIN_SRC js
let historians= ["Edward Gibbon", "Leopold von Ranke", "Edward Said", "Joan
Scott"];
#+END_SRC
** Repetition: While Loops
#+NAME: js-while-hist
#+begin_src js
<<js-array-historians>>
let i = 0;
while (i < historians.length) {
console.log(historians[i] + " was a historian.");
i+=1;
}
#+end_src
There might then be a sequence of another 5 or 6 slides in which the same
"historians" array is bound to the same value and used as an example.
This works fine on its own. However, I would also like to tangle all this
code to a single file per lecture so students can download a git repo and
play with it directly in a real text editor. Unfortunately, javascript will
error out if a ~let~ bound variable is redeclared in the same scope. I'm
wondering if there's any way to specify that a noweb reference only be
included one time in a tangled file. Or if there are cleverer workarounds
that folks can suggest!
Thanks much,
Matt

I have not used the exporting facilities of Org by myself, yet. However,
if what you sketch above does already produce expected results, then
something like the following should solve your problem. (The single
angle-bracketed stuff has to be replaced by the appropriate header
args.)
** Making Lists (Arrays)
#+NAME: js-array-historians
#+BEGIN_SRC js <do export, do tangle>
let historians= ["Edward Gibbon", "Leopold von Ranke", "Edward Said", "Joan Scott"];
#+END_SRC
** Repetition: While Loops
#+NAME: js-while-hist
#+BEGIN_SRC js <dont export, do tangle>
let i = 0;
while (i < historians.length) {
console.log(historians[i] + " was a historian.");
i+=1;
}
#+END_SRC
#+BEGIN_SRC js <do export, dont tangle>
<<js-array-historians>>
<<js-while-hlist>>
#+END_SRC
Best wishes
Sebastian
