Hi,

I have a few functions defined with babel, which need to work on an list of tables.

At the moment I use something like :var table1=<name1> :var table2=<name2> etc.

As you can see this is rather inflexible.

I am looking for a way to receive a list of tables, whereas table[0] would refer to the first table, etc.

Does someone know how to achieve this?

To make the best use of both worlds, I thought it would be nice to define a list which contains the names of the tables and somehow manage to access the tables from this list.

#+NAME: listoftables

- name1

- name2

- name3

#+CALL: myfunction(lst=listoftables)

I tried to play around with this idea but did not get a solution yet

For the moment I receive the names of the tables only as a string and search for ways to actually transfer the table itself.

Thanks for ideas and thoughts...

Torsten
