Hello list, I just discovered org-babel-screen... I haven't done my org-homework yet, but I can't resist making an announcement: the package eepitch.el, at
http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.el.html http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.el http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/eepitch.readme.html has some goals in common with org-babel - eepitch also lets us script external programs from Emacs - but it does that in a very different style from org. In eepitch the emphasys is in the simplicity of the implementation - its core is less than 200 lines, it runs on plain Emacs, it uses only two keybindings, support for a new language can usually be implemented in just one or two lines of Lisp, and "eepitch code blocks" can appear in any file and be used in any mode (by the way, I've been using them in org files for ages). Eepitch's approach has several downsides, of course - one of them is that eepitch code blocks will look UGLY to org users, as I never worked on ways of fontifying them... I will try to implement an org-babel language for eepitch code blocks (this is part of my homework). Oh, by the way: org-babel-screen was inspired by the ancestor of eepitch... http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-screen.html http://angg.twu.net/eev-current/anim/channels.anim.html Cheers, :-) Eduardo Ochs eduardoo...@gmail.com http://angg.twu.net/
