Hi when tangling the following file ,---- | * Package Files | ** DESCRIPTION File | :PROPERTIES: | :tangle: ./DESCRIPTION | :shebang: | :padline: no | :no-expand: TRUE | :comments: no | :END: | #+begin_src R | Package: asmDrak | #+end_src | | ** NAMESPACE File | :PROPERTIES: | :tangle: ./NAMESPACE | :shebang: | :padline: no | :no-expand: TRUE | :comments: no | :END: | #+begin_src R | this is a test | #+end_src | | | ** DESC2 File | :PROPERTIES: | :tangle: ./DESC2 | :shebang: | :padline: no | :no-expand: TRUE | :comments: yes | :END: | #+begin_src R | this is a test | #+end_src `---- I get the following tangled files: DESCRIPTION: ,---- | Package: asmDrak | | ;; Local Variables: | ;; org-babel-tangled-file: t | ;; buffer-read-only: t | ;; End: `---- which has the wrong comment character (should have #) NAMESPACE: ,---- | this is a test | | ## Local Variables: | ## org-babel-tangled-file: t | ## buffer-read-only: t | ## End: `---- which has the correct comment characters, and DESC2 ,---- | ## [[file:~/tmp/tangle.org::*DESC2%20File][DESC2\ File:1]] | this is a test | ## DESC2\ File:1 ends here | | ;; Local Variables: | ;; org-babel-tangled-file: t | ;; buffer-read-only: t | ;; End: `---- which has the correct comment characters for the comments, but the wrong ones for the file local variables. I use the following in my .emacs file to set the post-tangle-hook to add the local file variables: ,---- | (defvar org-babel-tangled-file nil | "If non-nill, current file was tangled with org-babel-tangle") | (put 'org-babel-tangled-file 'safe-local-variable 'booleanp) | | (defun org-babel-mark-file-as-tangled () | (add-file-local-variable 'org-babel-tangled-file t) | (add-file-local-variable 'buffer-read-only t) | ;; (add-file-local-variable 'eval: (auto-revert-mode)) | (basic-save-buffer)) | | (add-hook 'org-babel-post-tangle-hook 'org-babel-mark-file-as-tangled) `---- I assume this is a bug somewhere?
