First grab a copy of the org-babel code [1]. Then load org-babel [2]. To demonstrate extraction of code, open "test-tangle.org" file in the base of the org-babel directory and run `org-babel-tangle'. This should create a couple of source-code files in the same directory. To demonstrate creation of documents, open the "test-export.org" file in the base of the org-babel directory, and export it as you would any other org-mode file. The "exports" header argument controls how source-code blocks are exported, with the following options - none :: no part of the source-code block is exported in the document - results :: only the output of the evaluated block is exported - code :: the code itself is exported - both :: both the code and results are exported > > Best regards, > Seb > > PS- Excellent you're looking at this, because I thought I was the latest > "literate programmer" on earth.

The literate programming functionality in org-babel was inspired by talking with Eric Neilsen and by the sense that literate programming fit with org-babel's focus on code blocks. As you are actually familiar with literate programming and tools like noweb, I would be very interested to hear your thoughts on the current and potential future literate programming implementations in org-babel.
