The exception to the above is that *if* you have org-babel loaded, then some begin_src blocks will become activated. The source blocks activated by org-babel are the contents of the variable `org-babel-interpreters'. They can be used to activate for example dot blocks, and will then have the result of possibly evaluating dot blocks on export in the same manner as org-exp-blocks. The two separate mechanisms are confusion, but for now are necessary to allow org-mode users to evaluate some simple block types (like dot) on export without having to load up all of org-babel. I hope the above isn't too confusing :) -- Eric > > Sebastian > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
