actually i wasn't intending to ask for the difference. :) instead, i was intending to say that i thuoght it was reasonable for a beginner to be confused. i think a beginner can reasonably think tangling is like exporting, just a bit different. not orthogonal. so it's like "um, why both?" i use both btw. that probably soudns crazy so let me elaborate. if extracting uses subsetting, that can be done by the :noexport: tag and perhaps similar things in babel. if extracting is putting stuff in source code files, that can be done by exporting to files. so i think a newcomer can reasonably get confused. maybe just me and idk if i have derailed the thread. in which case, never mind! -- The Kafka Pandemic What is misopathy? https://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2013/10/why-some-diseases-are-wronged.html The disease DOES progress. MANY people have died from it. And ANYBODY can get it at any time.
