Hi
I have defined a variable as follow
#+property: var DC="/home/rkrug/tmp/CLUSTER"
and I am using this path quite often in source blocks (works nicely as
expected) but also in org directly, e.g.
* DC path is $DC$
The DC path $DC$ is pointing to a directory.
Is it possible to use the variable DC in the text as well, so that
$DC$ is replaced with the value of the variable DC as defined above?
In other words: how can I tell org that on export, $DC$ stands for the
value of the variable DC?
Cheers,
Rainer
PS: I know that $...$ is for LaTeX math mode

Aloha Rainer,
Here is a way that works for me.
* Krug
How to have a variable show up in text.
#+name: printDC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results silent raw :exports none
(print DC)
#+END_SRC
In the text call_printDC() is shown.
hth,
Tom

Great idea - I will try it as soon as I am back at work.
