Not sure if there are any limits for the top style but maybe you could combine the two styles of local variables - maybe: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- # -*- foo: (1 2 3 4) -*- * foo #+BEGIN_SRC elisp debbugs-org-ids #+END_SRC #+RESULTS: | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | * COMMENT Local variables ** Local Variables: ** eval: (setq debbugs-org-ids foo) ** End: --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Nick
