Presently there are three noweb modes: yes, no, and tangle. I would like a fourth, which would behave as follows:
On tangle: normal noweb expansion is performed. On evaluation: normal noweb expansion is performed. On export: noweb references are STRIPPED. Not just ignored, but the lines containing the references are removed before export. The use case is this: I find myself writing articles where I have a series of code examples like this: #+begin_src ruby <<boilerplate>> 2 + 2 # => #+end_src The boilerplate is required to make the sample work, but I don't want to have the boilerplate code show up in the finished article, because it would be repeated for every example. I also don't want the noweb reference to show up in the finished article, because it will confuse readers and syntax highlighters. Is this possible now, and/or a feature that could be easily added?
