Hi I use #+NAME to define some parameters for my analysis, which works quite nice for tables. but I would now like to use the same apprioach for values, e.g. a single number, but I don't manage. Is this possible? For illustration a short example: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- *** Species names and iespece codes #+NAME: SPECIES | | fullName | shortName | iespece | IFNName | color | |---------+-----------------+-----------+---------+-----------------+-------| | fagus | Fagus sylvatica | fagus | 4 | fagus_sylvatica | red | | quercus | Quercus robur | quercus | 3 | quercus_robur | green | *** Random Number Definition Defines random number generator kind, normal.kind and seed (see set.seed help in R for details) #+NAME: RNGSEED 13 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- SPECIES works, but how do I get RNGSEED to be 13?
