OK thanks, I have never used Babel at all, but I believe I have found
the inline use.
src_lang[args]{code}
So I thought...
src_emacs-lisp[var: data=example-table[2:1]]{data}
But this does not work.
Two questions...
Am I right in saying even if I do get this to work, it would only
"replace" the inline code blocks (variables) on an export? It wouldn't work like a
hyperlink and "translate" and "hide" the code block underneath the
value?
Sorry I can't think of how to phrase that question better.
