Good afternoon,
While debugging one of my babel documents, I re-read [this]
documentation on `:noweb-ref'.
What I had wanted to do was to define a bunch of source blocks and then
at the end of the heading to tangle them all into a file. This was just
a natural thing to do while /in the flow/ and *not* thinking about the
document structure.
Here is the simplest possible example.
,----
|
| * Demo
| :PROPERTIES:
| :noweb-ref: demo
| :END:
|
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (message "demo")
| #+end_src
|
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (message "this")
| #+end_src
|
| #+begin_src sh :tangle ~/tmp/demo.el :noweb yes
| «demo»
| #+end_src
`----
When you try and tangle this, you get the error:
file-truename: Variable binding depth exceeds
max-specpdl-size
You can increase the size but it will run out:
╭────
│ (setq max-specpdl-size 1500)
╰────
Feel like I have caused an endless loop by asking babel to collect all
references to `demo' and place them inside of a sourceblock, when that
sourceblock itself will be collected. That said, I'm not sure where to
go next and simply moved it up one heading.
Questions:
• What did I do wrong here?
• Am I the only one to ever encounter this?
• Web search did not reveal a lot quickly
Here is the org and emacs version
╭────
