Subject: Access outline from a code block
Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2016 19:09:09 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <B9092180-B1A2-49C8-81B3-515D1F6E42B3@teslamotors.com> (raw)

The manual states that the :var header argument can be given a reference to a table, a list, a literal example, a code block, or results.  But I want to use a reference to an outline tree—is there some way to do this?  My experiments have all failed:

#+NAME: example-outline
* L1
** L2a
*** L3a
** L2b
** L2c

* Results
#+NAME: table-length
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var ref=example-outline
(print (format "%S" ref))
  #+END_SRC

#+RESULTS: table-length
: "nil"

Alternatively, is there a way to pass the name as a literal and then explicitly resolve it within the code block and get the outline data?

Thanks,

Rob.
