Hi,
My goal is to define a table in org-mode, display it nicely to humans
using export, and tangle that same data table into
an elisp data structure for use elsewhere within the program. It might
look something like this:
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
* Modes
This is a place for humans to keep track both of what
modes activated for what file types; and also what utilies are used
with those modes when they are activated.
#+tblname: modes_data
| mode name | file_type | paredit | auto-save |
|-----------+-----------+---------+-----------|
| scheme | .scm | yes | yes |
| elisp | .el | yes | yes |
| ielm | nil | yes | no |
* Test
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :noweb tangle :tangle test.el
(mapcar (lambda (row) (message (car row))) modes_data)
#+end_src
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
The problem right now is that modes_data is referenced but not defined
anywhere in the tangled file.
How do I include the data itself from modes_data as an elisp data
structure to be defined during the tangling?
What I need help with is:
1. Is the goal I seek realistic?
2. What am I doing wrongly?
An alternative that I figured would work fine is to define modes_data
in a code block with elisp and export
that in the tangling; it would be nicer to use the org table features though.
Regards,

radio tables might be another way.

I think you want:
#+header: :var modes-data=modes-data
or something similar.

I don't know about the #+header, but the following works for me perfectly:'
* Columns to evaluate
#+NAME: COLS_TO_EVAL
| | name | usable |
|---+---------------+--------|
| 1 | NPPyC | FALSE |
| 2 | DBBVy | TRUE |
| 3 | DBRFy | FALSE |
| 4 | DBSSy | FALSE |
| 5 | levelstress_2 | TRUE |
#+PROPERTY: var+ COLS_TO_EVAL=COLS_TO_EVAL
Cheers,
Rainer

Thanks everyone.
My tentative plan is to run some elisp that will dump the table to an
intermediate file and then dependent files may load it themselves.

This seems like a fine option:
#+name: mode_data
| mode | paredit | auto-save |
|------------+---------+-----------|
| scheme | TRUE | TRUE |
| emacs-lisp | TRUE | TRUE |
| ielm | TRUE | FALSE |
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :var data=mode_data :exports results :file modes.json
(require 'json)
(json-encode data)
#+end_src
JSON because I will probably use it a few different ways, and most langs
today handle JSON just fine.
