Great idea - I will try it as soon as I am back at work.

Aloha Rainer,

Here is a way that works for me.

* Krug

How to have a variable show up in text.

#+name: printDC
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results silent raw :exports none
(print DC)
#+END_SRC

In the text call_printDC() is shown.

hth,
Tom

[O] using variables in org text

2012-02-16 Thread Rainer M Krug
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi

I have defined a variable as follow

#+property: var  DC="/home/rkrug/tmp/CLUSTER"

and I am using this path quite often in source blocks (works nicely as
expected) but also in org directly, e.g.

* DC path is $DC$
  The DC path $DC$ is pointing to a directory.

Is it possible to use the variable DC in the text as well, so that
$DC$ is replaced with the value of the variable DC as defined above?
In other words: how can I tell org that on export, $DC$ stands for the
value of the variable DC?

Cheers,

Rainer
