Any examples don't have to be Clojure. You can use the :session header argument which will give you access to any variables created during the session: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-clojure.html#orgheadline13 You can pass the function results to a variable argument, which makes possible chaining (see http://www.jstatsoft.org/v46/i03): #+header: :var x=myfunc(2) You can also embed and call a function in a source code block using noweb syntax: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html#literate-programming hth, Tom -- Thomas S.
