I also converted my Emacs configuration to an org-mode file a long time ago and I hit the same spot you did. As you, I initially assumed (wished) that the COMMENT marker would disable tangling of blocks in that subtree. After that I found out the tangle property, which solves the problem but has no visual indication as you mentioned.
Nowadays I use both approaches. Whenever I set the tangle property to "no" I also set the COMMENT mark and vice-verse. It is just a very minor annoyance to do both things and I'm used to it now. -- Darlan At Wed, 27 Feb 2013 19:32:41 +0000, Eric S Fraga wrote: > > Alan L Tyree <alanty...@gmail.com> writes: > > [...] > > > G'day Eric, > > > > If I understand your problem correctly, doesn't the property :tangle: do > > what you want? > > Yes, thanks; Aaron Ecay has also pointed out to me.
