Aloha all, Responding to a query by Gary Oberbrunner, I tried to point out the use of example blocks to name arbitrary pieces of text. What I found is that the example block isn't passed whole to a babel source block--whitespace is removed from the first line. * Whitespace on first line of example block removed #+name: example #+begin_example 1. this is the first line 2. this is the second line with %VARIANT% as the value 3. this is the third line #+end_example #+name: repeated-text #+header: :var x="" #+header: :var eg="" #+begin_src emacs-lisp (let ((result)) (setf result (replace-regexp-in-string "%VARIANT%" x eg t)) result) #+end_src #+call: repeated-text(x="foo",eg=example) :results raw #+results: 1. this is the first line 2. this is the second line with foo as the value 3. this is the third line This happens, AFAICT, regardless of the value of org-src-preserve-indentation. Is there a reason for this? Or, is it a bug? Or, am I going about this task in the wrong way? All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com

Hi Samuel, I think not. I get these results now: #+call: repeated-text(x="foo",eg=example) :results raw #+results: 1. this is the first line 2. this is the second line with foo as the value 3. this is the third line All the best, Tom Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com> writes: > hi thomas, > > is this still a bug? > > samuel > > > On 11/22/13, Thomas S.

Hi Thomas, I guess the fix hasn't made it to maint yet. #+call: repeated-text(eg=example) :results raw #+RESULTS: 1. this is the first line 2. this is the second line with %VARIANT% as the value 3. this is the third line #+name: repeated-text #+begin_src sh :results verbatim output :var eg=1 { cat<<EOF $eg EOF } 2>&1 : #+end_src #+name: example #+begin_example 1. this is the first line 2. this is the second line with %VARIANT% as the value 3. this is the third line #+end_example Samuel -- The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com The disease DOES progress.
