Hello, I have an org mode file with deep subtrees (i.e., 7 stars nesting level). When I try to detangle a src block generated by
" ******* TODO find map :PROPERTIES: :ID: 501cfff7-3b24-47cc-9ada-42e6d46abbe9 :END: #+BEGIN_SRC ocaml :noeval :comments both :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/tmp/findMap.ml anything here #+END_SRC " and the generated file contains: (* TODO find map *) (* :PROPERTIES: *) (* :ID: 501cfff7-3b24-47cc-9ada-42e6d46abbe9 *) (* :END: *) (* [[file:../home/andrea/workspace/agenda/myTasks.org::*find%20map][find\ map:1]] *) anything here (* find\ map:1 ends here *) the detangle cannot find the header, and proposes me to create a new one in the file. I think that the ideal solution is to allow an user to make org-babel-detangle rely on header IDs, since this not only assures detangle to find the correct header every time, but also push the user to use IDs through org-id (that seems good practice). What do you think? Thanks for the fantastic org mode!!
