Ah, I didn't think of that. It does have some limitations though as
:noweb isn't as flexible as shell expansion. For instance, I'm not able
to do
#+name: my-json
#+begin_src json
{
...
}
#+end_src
#+begin_src bash :noweb yes :results verbatim
cat <> | jq '@text')
}
EOF
#+end_src
Though it isn't too difficult to work around in this case:
#+begin_src bash :noweb yes :results verbatim
cat <>
EOF0
{
"foo": $(cat /dev/stdin)
}
EOF1
#+end_src
It's absolutely a workable solution. Thanks!

Re: Using a code block as input to another code block
As far as I know, referencing a code block this way uses the results of executing the block as the variable, not the contents of the block.

Sounds like you want the :noweb header and code chunks, viz.
#+begin_src bash :noweb yes :results verbatim
cat <>
EOF
#+end_src

Using a code block as input to another code block
I know I can use an example block (literal example) as input to a code block, but I haven't found a way to fontify examples. Since my input is code (JSON, and various programming languages) I would really like to have that, as well as the language's mode when editing by using ~org-edit-source-code~. A code block gives me fontification, but I haven't found a way to pass a code block as is to another code block. For instance, something like this: #+name: code-input #+begin_src C #include #+end_src #+begin_src bash :var input=input :results verbatim cat
