Hi Daniel,
I ran into a problem similar to you description above, and developed a
solution in the form of a modified version of org-eval.el (in the
contrib directory of the org-mode source). It is like org-eval except
for the following changes...
,----[org-eval-light.el]
| ;;; Changes: by Eric Schulte
| ;;
| ;; 1) forms are only executed manually, (allowing for the execution of
| ;; an entire subtree of forms)
| ;; 2) use the org-mode style src blocks, rather than the muse style
| ;; <code></code> blocks
| ;; 3) forms are not replaced by their outputs, but rather the output
| ;; is placed in the buffer immediately following the src block
| ;; commented by `org-eval-light-make-region-example' (when
| ;; evaluated with a prefix argument no output is placed in the
| ;; buffer)
| ;; 4) add defadvice to org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c so that when called inside of
| ;; a source block it will call `org-eval-light-current-snippet'
`----
My modified version is available at
http://github.com/eschulte/org-contrib/tree/master/org-eval-light.el
It's been working fairly well for me, in fact I was going to push this
to the mailing list anyways, but wanted to play with it some more.
Cheers -- Eric
