Hi again, i posted a separate issue on multiple code blocks in babel
creating 1 config but then realized this actually is very appropriate for
this thread...apologize for that.

@Kaushal, the method you suggested works really well for 1 code block=1
config file. but what happens when my config file is made out of 1 few
babel code blocks that i tangle together into 1 config file. for example:

 * tmux conf
 :PROPERTIES:
 :header-args: :noweb yes  :tangle /zeltak@132.72.155.204:~/.tmux.conf
 :END:

***** Mouse
      :PROPERTIES:
      :ID:       ba8ce7aa-2b3b-43be-816d-ea2ab515a999
      :END:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
#-------------->  mouse
setw -g mouse on
set-option -g status-keys vi
#+END_SRC

***** Theme and look
      :PROPERTIES:
      :ID:       85257f51-1306-4caf-a055-a6df3afac1a5
      :END:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
#--------------> THEME AND LOOK
#default theme picker
source /home/zeltak/.tmux/neonB
#source /home/zeltak/.tmux/solarized-dark
#+END_SRC

how do i add a name (#+NAME) argument that covers all the sub headers that
will make '.tmux.conf'.
and then using noweb how does one reffer to that name <<tmux.conf>> that
will cover all the tiny blocks that create the tmux.conf?

best!

Z
