Dye" Cc: emacs-orgmode@gnu.org --=-=-= Hi Tom, I certainly believe what you describe should be possible, although it pains me to imagine embedding pure latex code in an Org-mode document and losing the ability to use the org latex export helpers :), but I digress. Org-babel needs to be told to recognize latex source code blocks and how they should be tangled, which can be accomplished with the following (org-babel-add-interpreter "latex") (add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-langs '("latex" "tex")) Once that is done `org-babel-tangle' should do the trick. for example, after evaluating the above I was able to tangle the following .org file into the following .tex file. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/octet-stream Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=babel-latex.org #+TITLE: babel-tangling #+OPTIONS: num:nil ^:nil #+LaTeX_CLASS: normal * top level ** and some more #+srcname: latex-idea-1 #+begin_src latex :tangle none \item first concept \item second concept #+end_src #+srcname: latex-idea-2 #+begin_src latex :tangle none The first concept was developed by \citet{author1}.
