Hi, Grant.

The problem is that if there is nothing after #+BEGIN_SRC, then
org-babel-get-src-block-info returns nil. Probably you would have
to modify org-babel-get-src-block-info so that it returns a
default when there is nothing after #+BEGIN_SRC. But isn't it
easier to set org-structure-template-alist as a local buffer
variable, say in the first line of your file something like:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
# -*- org-structure-template-alist: '(("s" "#+BEGIN_SRC
python\n?\n#+END_SRC")) -*-
#+END_EXAMPLE
Then file, for example.
Best,

Blocks Like greater blocks, pattern for blocks is: #+BEGIN_NAME DATA CONTENTS #+END_NAME NAME cannot contain any whitespace character. [...] If it is “SRC”, it will be a “source block” [...] DATA can contain any character but a new line. It can be ommitted, unless the block is a “source block”. In this case, it must follow the pattern “LANGUAGE SWITCHES ARGUMENTS”, where SWITCHES and ARGUMENTS are optional. —Rasmus Footnotes: ¹ http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-syntax.html -- The right to be left alone is a human right
[O] How to set a default language for source blocks?
Good afternoon, Just read [this] question. It is interesting. We always want to optimize our documents. Re-use reduces errors. Defining `:header-args:foo: :session *bar*' is a great example. Rather than having to type it 100 times all over, just do it once. It never occurred to be that we might want to default the language for a source block. It should have. It would be simpler to say "this whole document will be R source blocks, unless I specify other wise". I looked at [the spec]. I wanted to obtain this behavior. I couldn't figure out how. Is it possible? I didn't look at the parser, is that the right place to look to answer questions like this?
