You can customize the org-babel-default-header-args:lang variable (where "lang" is the source name) as a file local variable. > > That is, be able to say: > > "In this document, I want to: > - tangle all my .sql chunks, but no other; > - eval all the elisp chunks with query, but no other." > > Something we could write quite easily along the lines: > > #+PROPERTY: tangle no > #+PROPERTY: eval never > #+PROPERTY[SQL]: tangle yes > #+PROPERTY[EMACS-LISP]: eval query > > (the syntax used here is just a draft sample!) > I do not think we can customize the PROPERTY syntax as is exists outside of Babel.
