+** Org-babel is now part of the Org distribution
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Org-babel provides the ability to execute source code in many
|
|
|
+different languages within org-mode documents. The results of
|
|
|
+code execution -- text, tables and graphics -- can be integrated
|
|
|
+into Org-mode documents and can be automatically updated during
|
|
|
+publishing. Since Org-babel allows execution of arbitrary code,
|
|
|
+the range of tasks that can be addressed from within an Org mode
|
|
|
+file becomes very large. Examples of ways in which Org-babel
|
|
|
+might be used include
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Documenting a task that involves some programming so that it is
|
|
|
+ automatically repeatable
|
|
|
+- Creating dynamic (executable) reports that respond to changes
|
|
|
+ in the underlying data (Reproducible Research)
|
|
|
+- Exportation of code contained in an Org-mode document into
|
|
|
+ regular source code files (Literate Programming)
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Additionally, Org-babel provides a programming environment within
|
|
|
+Org files, in which data can be transmitted between parameterised
|
|
|
+source code blocks in different languages, as well as between
|
|
|
+source code blocks and Org-mode tables.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+A simple API is defined so that users can add support for new
|
|
|
+"languages" (broadly construed). Languages currently supported
|
|
|
+are:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- asymptote
|
|
|
+- css
|
|
|
+- ditaa
|
|
|
+- dot
|
|
|
+- emacs-lisp
|
|
|
+- gnuplot
|
|
|
+- haskell
|
|
|
+- ocaml
|
|
|
+- python
|
|
|
+- R
|
|
|
+- ruby
|
|
|
+- sass
|
|
|
+- sh
|
|
|
+- sql
|
|

|
|
|
+Org-babel was designed and implemented Eric Schulte with continued
|
|
|
+significant help on both accounts from Dan Davison.
