thx so much

Joon: thx this is great. one last question. suppose i have multiple code
blocks under  header like this:

**** main i3 conf
     :PROPERTIES:
     :ID:       f17b5518-2695-4484-a958-2fc7b8aa2479
     :tangle:   /home/zeltak/.i3/config
     :END:



is there a way to issue a tangle just for all below the header blocks?

best
