I get it now, I was looking at http://orgmode.org/guide/Working-With-Source-Code.html #+NAME: <name> #+BEGIN_SRC <language> <switches> <header arguments> <body> #+END_SRC and I just noticed that "<switches> can be used to control export of the code block" which isn't what I was trying to do with it. > > > Regards, -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
