I'm just getting started using Org Babel and I've run into a bit of an
annoyance that I can't seem to find an answer to in the Org Babel docs. I
find myself wanting to use one variable in multiple code blocks, for
example, the path to a file. Org Babel provides several mechanisms for
including array/list types, via tables and lists with a #+NAME line before
them. However the only mechanism it provides for single variables is #+NAME
before example blocks, which just seem clunky for something as trivial as a
file path or numeric variable. Is there a more concise way to do simple
variables, or am I stuck with the named example blocks?
Thanks,
Will

It seems you'll want to define those through "var" properties.
Regards,
Achim.

Aloha Will,
You can set system-wide header arguments or set default values for a
buffer or heading. See the Org mode manual, Section 14.8.1, Using
header arguments.
hth,
Tom
