Hi Nate,

By the way, if you are using :results silent for all your blocks, then
you can just enter it once as a buffer property:

#+property: results silent

(and if you want it for a whole subtree but not a whole buffer, then set
a property called :results: with value silent in the root of the
subtree).

I agree with the others about using yasnippets for blocks. I have src
and elisp snippets (although to be honest I still haven't learned the
syntax for defining them and I have trouble stopping them leaving
annoying trailing spaces...ok thanks you made me fix that, although I
still don't know the syntax, something like this then

src:

#+begin_src...#+end_src
# --
#+begin_src ${2:language}
$0
#+end_src

elisp:

#name : #+begin_src...#+end_src
# --
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
$0
#+end_src


)
