can one tangle only the current blocks under header or can you only tangle the
whole file?the issue is again for dotfiles managed by org that these files are
not proper org babel languages and look like this:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf :mkdirp yes :tangle ~/.config/mpv/mpv.confsoftvol-max=600
#+END_SRC
the manual (http://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html) only shows
how to tangle the whole file
any ideas?
If you read the help for org-babel-tangle:
With one universal prefix argument, only tangle the block at point.When two
universal prefix arguments, only tangle blocks for thetangle file of the block
at point.
So if you do c-u first before org-babel-tangle, it will only tangle the code
block at point.I use this a lot so I have the following in my init file:
(defun org-babel-tangle-block() (interactive) (let ((current-prefix-arg
'(4))) (call-interactively 'org-babel-tangle)))
(eval-after-load "org" '(progn (define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c b")
'org-babel-tangle-block)))
So I can just do C-c b and it will just tangle the code block at point.
And I agree with you I with the manual
(http://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html) has this information.
Hope this helps,Joon
