Hi when tangling the following with Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.358.g5194), test.R begins with an empty line - but when tangling with 7.5, it does not start with an empty line. The empty line occurs *after* the shebang. Empty lines are usually not a problem, but I am using http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/Rpackage.html for a package, and this empty line makes my DESCRIPTION file invalid. For the moment I am reverting to 7.5, but it would be great if this could be fixed. * test #+begin_src R :tangle test.R :shebang This is a test #+end_src Cheers, Rainer -- Rainer M.
