The only example I could find in the manual is this one http://orgmode.org/manual/noweb_002dref.html#noweb_002dref which does not address using noweb with different languages. I did some experiments and I'm even more confused. Here is a test where I want to feed the results of "ls" in a shell block as an ocaml list. This is what I tried: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+BEGIN_SRC sh :noweb-ref testing echo "[" for i in `ls`; do echo \"$i;\" done echo "]" #+END_SRC #+BEGIN_SRC ocaml :noweb yes let x = <<testing>> in x #+END_SRC --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This is clearly wrong because this is what ends up in the toplevel: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- let x = echo "[" for i in `ls`; do echo \"$i;\" done echo "]" in x;; --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- (I would have like the code to be executed, and the raw results to replace the <<testing>> ref.) So I'll rephrase my question: how can I use noweb with different languages? Thanks, Alan
