Dear Eric, Thanks for your answer.

It seems to work like a simple string replace for each 'variable="value"' parameter in the noweb reference. When I write this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- <<cv(v-firstname="Albert")>> --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- When I tangle/evaluate the code, it replaces any occurrence of "v-firstname" in the cv source code by "Albert" even if the variable is not given a header argument... Seems like the header argument is "just" used to give a default value for the replacement. Is this the expected behavior? > Then ensure that you can call the cv function using a call line, e.g. > > #+call: cv(v-firstname="Alex",v-familyname="Pizzo",v-jobtitle="Project > Manager",employee="alex") > > Once that is working then the noweb reference should work as well. I tried what you say, but it seems that a variable in a noweb reference does not get replaced by its value. From my point of view, it seems that: - either, the noweb references are replaced before the variables get replaced by their values; - or, the variable replacement does not work in noweb references. Here's a shorter example where, whatever I try, I keep getting the Profile section empty: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- * Alex #+call: cv(employee="alex") #+srcname: cv-alex #+begin_src latex :noweb yes :tangle alex.tex <<cv(employee="alex")>> #+end_src ** Profile #+srcname: profile-alex #+begin_src latex Software engineering expert. #+end_src * Composed CV #+srcname: cv #+begin_src latex :noweb yes :var employee="alex" \documentclass{mycvclass} \usepackage[utf8x]{inputenc} \begin{document} \section{Profile} <<profile-employee>> \end{document} #+end_src --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Any help is welcome.
