That would be useful, however I believe what FengShu means is a sub-menu specifically with a list of all the org-babel languages, where you can see which are active at the moment. I'm not sure how you could deactivate them once they are active however since the libraries would be loaded, however you could use that menu as a way to keep track of which languages require confirmation on code blocks and which will be evaluated without prompting. > > So I would see it as a useful way of promoting babel (and therefore org-mode) > and also as a nice > reminder of less frequently (but nevertheless usefull) functionality. > > Cheers, > > Rainer > > >> >> Best, >> >> FengShu <tuma...@gmail.com> writes: >> >>> Hi: Could we add some org-babel menu items ,so using them we can enable >>> and disable the >>> computer languages ? >>> >>> for example: #+begin_example org => org-babel => * emacs-lisp sh * R ... * >>> screen >>> >>> #+end_example >> > > > - -- > Rainer M.
