I'm considering investigating the following and would appreciate comments on this idea. The aim is to make it easier to use Org-mode to work pure code files which are *external to Org-mode* (i.e. this proposal lies outside of the current org-babel tangling framework). - Extend Org file links to allow links to a range of lines in a file. The syntax could be [[file:/path/to/file::from::to][linkname]] - These links will bring up a buffer visiting the target file, narrowed to the target region. - The link back in the Org-mode file can be adjusted from the target file, by widening and then narrowing again. (During this procedure the target region would be highlighted.) - Export to HTML and LaTeX will have the ability to include the target regions, fontified according to the appropriate major-mode, similar to how begin_src blocks behave on export. - 'from' and 'to' could be line numbers, or regexps for text search. For programmers, this would allow a sort of org-mode mediated literate programming in projects where it is not feasible/desirable to actually include the source code in the org-mode file.
