** Org-babel is now part of the Org distribution
|
||||
|
||||
Org-babel provides the ability to execute source code in many
|
||||
different languages within org-mode documents. The results of
|
||||
code execution -- text, tables and graphics -- can be integrated
|
||||
into Org-mode documents and can be automatically updated during
|
||||
publishing. Since Org-babel allows execution of arbitrary code,
|
||||
the range of tasks that can be addressed from within an Org mode
|
||||
file becomes very large. Examples of ways in which Org-babel
|
||||
might be used include
|
||||
|
||||
- Documenting a task that involves some programming so that it is
|
||||
automatically repeatable
|
||||
- Creating dynamic (executable) reports that respond to changes
|
||||
in the underlying data (Reproducible Research)
|
||||
- Exportation of code contained in an Org-mode document into
|
||||
regular source code files (Literate Programming)
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, Org-babel provides a programming environment within
|
||||
Org files, in which data can be transmitted between parameterised
|
||||
source code blocks in different languages, as well as between
|
||||
source code blocks and Org-mode tables.
|
||||
|
||||
A simple API is defined so that users can add support for new
|
||||
"languages" (broadly construed). Languages currently supported
|
||||
are:
|
||||
|
||||
- asymptote
|
||||
- css
|
||||
- ditaa
|
||||
- dot
|
||||
- emacs-lisp
|
||||
- gnuplot
|
||||
- haskell
|
||||
- ocaml
|
||||
- python
|
||||
- R
|
||||
- ruby
|
||||
- sass
|
||||
- sh
|
||||
- sql
|
||||
|
||||
Org-babel was designed and implemented Eric Schulte with continued
|
||||
significant help on both accounts from Dan Davison.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
** New hook `org-export-latex-final-hook'.
|
||||
|
||||
** Indented lines starting with "#+ " are treated as comments
