I was thinking as well that this had been discussed previously, and that the decision had been: - COMMENT is equivalent to "noexport" and "noeval", i.e. no code blocks are run - "noexport" just does that: no export, but code blocks can be run. But I don't find any evidence of this. I must have misunderstood. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
