Hi Eric,
I think the confusion leading to my messages has been the cause of some
mischief. Apologies for that.
The change you implemented to let the :FILE: property work correctly
with ebib does what it is supposed to do. It does not cause the
"mischief" that I was experiencing. AFAICT, your re-reversion of the
code back into Org-mode was the correct action.
I ran into the problem when I tried to include in my reading notes an R
graphic for some newly reported data. The R source block was
immediately below the bibliographic subheading with the :FILE: property.
Babel saw the :FILE: property for the bibliographic subheading and
applied that to the R code block, as I now believe it is supposed to do.
My confusion came from the fact that I didn't recognize at the time that
Babel sees the :FILE: property for the bibliographic subheading the same
way it sees the :FILE: property for any other heading. When I move the
R code away from the bibliographic subheading it all works as expected,
as you note.
Again, sorry for my noise, and thanks for your fix for the ebib
integration.
All the best,
Tom
