Hello,
Org supports adding blank lines between concatenated source code blocks
with the "padline" header argument [1]. However this does not work for
Noweb references.
For example, a blank line is inserted between "foo" and "bar" and again
between "bar" and "baz" for tangling-padline.txt below:
#+begin_src txt :tangle tangling-padline.txt
foo
#+end_src
#+begin_src txt :tangle tangling-padline.txt
bar
#+end_src
#+begin_src txt :tangle tangling-padline.txt
baz
#+end_src
So tangling-padline.txt looks like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
foo
bar
baz
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Which is great. But the same blank lines are not inserted for the
following case using "Noweb chunk" as a Noweb reference:
#+begin_src txt :tangle tangling-padline-noweb.txt
<<Noweb chunk>>
#+end_src
#+header: :noweb-ref Noweb chunk
#+begin_src txt
foo
#+end_src
#+header: :noweb-ref Noweb chunk
#+begin_src txt
bar
#+end_src
#+header: :noweb-ref Noweb chunk
#+begin_src txt
baz
#+end_src
And now tangling-padline-noweb.txt looks like
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
foo
bar
baz
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Is this discrepancy intentional? If not, I guess you could consider this
email as a bug report. I'm not sure how to implement a workaround using
Org tangle hooks [1]; if it is possible to have a workaround please do
let me know!
