Best, --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- The reason ESP, for example, is not considered a viable topic in contemoprary psychology is simply that its investigation has not proven fruitful...After more than 70 years of study, there still does not exist one example of an ESP phenomenon that is replicable under controlled conditions. This simple but basic scientific criterion has not been met despite dozens of studies conducted over many decades...It is for this reason alone that the topic is now of little interest to psychology...In short, there is no demonstrated phenomenon that needs explanation. -- Keith E.

[O] Lieterate Programming for configuration settings

#+TITLE: Literate Programming for configuration settings
#+AUTHOR: Vladimir Lomov

* Literate Programming
I'm trying to use the Literate Programming to describe my set up of
Openbox and my workflow with Linux.
The main problem is with Openbox. I set up convenient (for me)
keybindings, like W-x f k to launch Krusader file manager, and now I
want to describe all my keybindings.
I see this as follow: from one source I get Org table (keybind and
description) and xml code (to be included into ~rc.xml~ using noweb).
At first, I thought about table in org file with three columns:
| Keybind | Code | Description |
|-+--+-|
but I don't know how to exclude second column in html export and how
to generate xml code excluding the third column.
So I decided to use plain txt files with the same information.
My question is: how to get table in html export and xml file with
code?
I wrote two shell scripts, first gives org table from txt file, the
second generates xml code from the same txt file, but can't figure out
how to use them with org.
(My next step would be to put both: plain txt file content and shell
script code into one org file, if my idea would work.)
** Example
Below is example of plain text file. I don't need ~example.txt~
except for shell script to generate org table and xml code, if it is
possible to get both without extracting text file it would be great.
#+name: example.txt
#+begin_src text :exports none :tangle example.txt
Alt-F2'action name=executecommandgmrun/command/action'
Run gmrun, very useful tool
Alt-F4'action name=Close/'Close application window
Alt-F9'action name=Iconify/' Iconify to task bar
Alt-Tab 'action name=NextWindow/' Switch focus to next window
Alt-S-Tab 'action name=PreviousWindow/' Switch focus to
previous window
Alt-space 'actionmenuclient-menu/menu/action' Show
application window menu
#+end_src
This shell script used standalone gives correct org table. I also
don't need it except it generates org table.
#+name: txt2org-table
#+begin_src sh :exports none
#!/bin/bash
###
# Read a txt file and write to stdout it as Org table.
###
_data=$1
###
# Each line has three fields: keystroke, xml code and description. For table
the 1 and 3 are needed.
###
echo | Keybind | Description |
echo ++--|
while IFS=' ' read -r kb code descr
do
[[ ${kb} = \#* ]] continue
echo | ${kb//\/~} | ${descr//\} |
done ${_data}
echo ++--|
exit 0
#+end_src
** My real goal
Ideally I want to have a table (like example.txt) in org file, when
I export org file to html there must be table with Keybind and
Description and the same org file should generate ~rc.xml~ (I assume
it is possible to insert results of script run in place of NOWEB).

Thanks in advance, Vladimir Lomov
P.S. Sorry if I description were to obscure.
P.P.S. Side note: why then 'tangled' example.txt the first line is empty one?
