Thanks Tim - I wanted to ask the list -- what does " By default, Org does not tangle the ‘src’ code block on export." mean in this web page:https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html I mean, I have all of my begin_src emacs-lisp blocks with no explicit :tangle yesand they all are exported to the resulting *.el file. What does the above statement mean?
