Like a function library, these code blocks can be called from other Org files. This collection is in a repository file in Org mode format in the `doc' directory of Org mode installation. The last sentence seems vague to me, and based on my likely partial understanding of some of the terms, it seems contradictory, too. What is meant by a "repository file"? Does "repository" express something about the file's location in the Org mode ecosystem, or does it refer to the contents of the file, which serves as a repository for source code blocks? When I read "Org mode installation" I think about the Org mode files installed on my computer. Yet, the org-plus-contrib package from ELPA lacks both a `doc' directory and library-of-babel.org. Perhaps I'm mis-interpreting something, but this last sentence seems demonstrably false to me. Is this: 1) user error? 2) a documentation problem? 3) a problem with the ELPA org-plus-contrib installation? All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
