Hi, I think there is a bug here.
Given the situation below, I would expect that the block named xxx would never be evaluated: #--------------------- file b.org ------------------- #+TITLE: b.org #+EXPORT_SELECT_TAGS: export #+EXPORT_EXCLUDE_TAGS: noexport * A heading :noexport: #+INCLUDE: "c.org" #--------------------- file c.org ------------------- * A Heading in c.org #+name: xxx #+BEGIN_SRC sh echo "Evaluated" > c.out #+END_SRC #+call: xxx() #---------------------------------------------------- And maybe it isn't evaluated but the call is still processed to some extent upon latex export: #+BEGIN_SRC sh :shebang "#!/usr/bin/env bash" :tangle eval_bug.sh emacs -Q --batch --eval "(progn (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name \"./lisp/\")) (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name \"./contrib/lisp/\" t)) (require 'org-e-latex) (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((sh . t))) (find-file \"b.org\") (org-e-latex-export-to-latex))" #+END_SRC $ ./eval_bug.sh Loading /home/myles/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/lisp/org-loaddefs.el (source)... OVERVIEW Loading vc-git... OVERVIEW OVERVIEW Reference 'xxx' not found in this buffer Removing the :noexport: results in the same message as above, removing the #+call causes c.org to be included but even adding these line to the batch function above will not cause the block to be evaluated (i.e. there is no c.out written): (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil) (setq org-export-babel-evaluate t) This is with Org-mode version 7.9.2 (release_7.9.2-454-g949709 @ /home/myles/.emacs.d/plugins/org-mode/lisp/). Thanks, Myles
