Here is a patch to the documentation. It documents currently undocumented *features* of ob-ditaa. I have *removed* mention of work-arounds to execute scripts. I have also taken the liberty of re-writing the two source blocks to use org src blocks. I will submit a patch to ob-ditaa.el (likely in January). Leo
From 15cdaff68d3ecd1348ac8b3b3998cb146e6d5345 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Leo Butler <leo.but...@umanitoba.ca> Date: Thu, 26 Oct 2023 20:49:41 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-ditaa.org: update documentation * org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-ditaa.org: Add a subsection, Customization Options, that documents the four DEFCUSTOM variables. Document the header arguments eps and pdf, which control how output is created. Modify the existing examples so that the org code that is exported also creates the code-blocks that are executed.
