I've made some changes to org-eval and packaged them into a new org-eval-light.el file. While this reworked version loses some of the automatic evaluation, and most all of the similarity to Emacs Muse that the original org-eval tried to maintain, I believe that it represents (for me at least) a safer and more use-able way of packaging and calling source code from inside of org-files. The changes include... ,----[org-eval-light.el] | ;;; Changes: by Eric Schulte | ;; | ;; 1) forms are only executed manually, (allowing for the execution of | ;; an entire subtree of forms) | ;; 2) use the org-mode style src blocks, rather than the muse style | ;; <code></code> blocks | ;; 3) forms are not replaced by their outputs, but rather the output | ;; is placed in the buffer immediately following the src block | ;; commented by `org-eval-light-make-region-example' (when | ;; evaluated with a prefix argument no output is placed in the | ;; buffer) | ;; 4) add defadvice to org-ctrl-c-ctrl-c so that when called inside of | ;; a source block it will call `org-eval-light-current-snippet' `---- The amount of new code is minimal, but I think it provides a nice alternative for source code evaluation, and hopefully takes org-mode one step closer to being a first-class Experimentation and Reproducible-Research tool. The code is available here http://github.com/eschulte/org-contrib/tree/master%2Forg-eval-light.el?raw=true As a side note, I feel that org-mode should be listed here http://www.reproducibleresearch.org/tools_and_resources.html Thanks -- Eric _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
