Re: example filter for code blocks?

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Hi John,

I tried the following, which works on my Mac.

#+name: supplementary-material-latex-header
#+header: :tangle supplementary-material-header.tex
#+begin_src latex
  \usepackage{attachfile}
  \newcommand{\LaunchBinary}[2]{%
    % #1: layer name,
    % #2: link text
    \leavevmode%
    \pdfstartlink  attr{/C [0.9 0 0] /Border [0 0 2]} user {
      /Subtype /Link
      /A <<
        /F <<
          /DOS (#1)
          /Mac (#1)
          /Unix (#1)
        >>
        /S /Launch
      >>
    } #2%
    \pdfendlink%
  }  
#+end_src

Thanks for the link.

All the best,
Tom
