They work differently. Try this example: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :var x="hi" (message x) #+END_SRC
tangles to (let ((x (quote "hi"))) (message x)) but this #+NAME: x #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp "hi" #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (message «x») #+END_SRC tangles to this (message "hi" Sincerely, Grant Rettke On Mon, Dec 25, 2017 at 6:45 AM, numbch...@gmail.com <numbch...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I see.
