Thank you that is exactly what I was looking for. I must have missed that example when I was looking through the docs. Thanks, Tim Quelch

I don't think ox-ascii has an option to control that, but you could get the behavior you're after by creating a derived backend. In fact, the section of the manual that covers derived backends provides an example of extending the ox-ascii backend to tweak the rendering of the source blocks. (info "(org)Advanced Export Configuration") You'd only need to modify that slightly, rewriting the my-ascii-src-block function to do what you want. Something like (defun my-ascii-src-block (src-block contents info) (concat "```" (org-element-property :language src-block) "\n" (org-element-normalize-string (org-export-format-code-default src-block info)) "```"))
Configuring text export block output
Hi all, Is there a way to configure how text is exported in ascii? For example if I have a source block #+begin_src python Some code here with multiple lines #+end_src With `org-ascii-export-as-ascii` the above block gives: , | Some code here | with multiple lines ` I don't really like this as the '|' at the start of the lines make it annoying to copy and paste. Is there a way to configure the export to give something surrounded by backticks? ```python Some code here with multiple lines ``` I've had a look into the available `org-ascii-*` customise variables and I couldn't see anything which looked to give this functionality. Preferably I'd love a way if I could configure this locally and programatically, as in some contexts I might still want the "prettier" output of the default, but in other contexts I might want the more "practical" output of backticks. Side question: Perhaps what I am wanting can be achieved with markdown export, however it seems that the default markdown exporter exports code indented. This has the same problem of being frustrating to copy-paste. Is there a way to configure the md exporter to use fenced code blocks? Thanks, Tim Quelch
