Hi List, it is now possible to convert existing Org-mode files with source-blocks into machine-executable source-code files, using the following function from `outorg.el':
#+begin_src emacs-lisp (defun outorg-convert-org-file-to-source-code (&optional mode infile outfile BATCH) "Convert an existing Org-mode file into an Outshine buffer. If MODE is non-nil, the Outshine buffer will be put in this major-mode, otherwise the major-mode of the language of the first source-code block in the Org-mode buffer will be used. If INFILE is non-nil, the specified Org-mode file will be visited and its buffer converted, otherwise the current buffer will be converted. If OUTFILE is non-nil, the converted Outshine buffer will be saved in this file. Its the user's responsability to make sure that OUTFILE's file-extension is suited for the major-mode of the Outshine buffer to be saved. When in doubt, consult variable `auto-mode-alist' for associations between file-extensions and major-modes. If BATCH is non-nil (and OUTFILE is non-nil, otherwise it makes no sense), the new Outshine file is saved and its buffer deleted."...) #+end_src Usage example: ,---------------------------------------------------------------- | (outorg-convert-org-file-to-source-code | "emacs-lisp-mode" "~/junk/test.org" "~/junk/test.el" 'BATCH) `---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not sure about the general use case for this, but I do have my uses for it, so I announce it here because it might serve others too. PS This is *not* about tangling, try it out to see the (big) difference. -- cheers, Thorsten
