Hi Scot, I've added some simplifying functions to the literate programming functionality of org-babel. It should now be easy to embed your elisp initialization into org-mode files. Specifically there is now a new `org-babel-load-file' function which can load the elisp portions of org-mode files in the same manner as the normal `load-file' command. To use this you need to clone the latest version of org-babel[1], and then add the following to your emacs initialization (this worked for me when a base emacs "emacs -Q"). --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org/lisp") (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/org-babel/lisp") (require 'org-babel-init) ;; now you can load your org-mode files with embedded elisp (org-babel-load-file "~/path/to/org-mode-file.org") ;; for example (org-babel-load-file "~/path/to/org-babel/test-tangle.org") --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Hopefully this will provide the literate programming functionality without too much trouble.
