This would be wrong. A format string is not a regexp, and therefore needs to be quoted. E.g., one might want to use "/* %s */". `org-babel-tangle-single-block' should make use of `org-src-coderef-regexp' and, possibly, `org-src-coderef-format'. > PS While on the topic of coderefs, let me drop a note that is a > preview of some of the issues I have encountered while working on a > full formal grammar for org.

Switches predate Babel and its header arguments. Also, they are orthogonal to Babel. I don't know what a sound design would be here, tho. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
