Tangle only current code block?

Tangle only current code block?

Hi,

I have a bunch of code chunks with stuff like <<fun name>> and headers like
:tangle toto.c exporting to different files in noweb style

If I use C-c C-v t, it extracts all of those code chunks nicely

However, sometimes I would like to put my cursor inside one of those code
chunks and then extract only that one, not the others.

Is there a simple way ?

I narly found a solution, but to make it work nicely I need to put
org-babel-tangle inside a macro, but it fails: if I define a macro :

C-x (
M-x org-babel-tangle
C-x )
C-x e

it fails, saying wrong type argument stringp, nul

I'm lost.

Yann

Yes, run the tangle with a prefix argument to tangle only the block
under your cursor e.g., C-u C-c C-v t.

Best,

Very nice! Is that documented? It's not in
http://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html

And you can tangle a consecutive subset of code blocks by narrowing your
org buffer to only those blocks before tangling.  It happens to me so
often I wrote a bit of code to avoid it.  From my emacs.org:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle yes
(defadvice org-babel-tangle (before widen-before-tangling)
  "Widen a buffer before calling org-babel-tangle."
  (widen))

(ad-activate 'org-babel-tangle)
#+end_src

This is now mentioned in the documentation.  Cheers,
