thx Nicolas for the answer.
im still having issues getting this to work
here is my modified example
**** main i3 conf
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: f17b5518-2695-4484-a958-2fc7b8aa2479
:header-args: :tangle ~/.i3/config
:END:
mod is win key and mod1 is alt key in below config
***** General definitions
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: 97fcf6e4-a81d-4fe8-badc-6a9b48668ec2
:END:
#+BEGIN_SRC conf
# i3 general settings
#set variable names
set $mod Mod4
# Use Mouse+$mod to drag floating windows to their wanted position
floating_modifier $mod
#+END_SRC
yet when i try to tangle recursively i get:
org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for conf!
is my syntax wrong?
best and thx again
