I had originally started to implement this parameter using a header argument, but then decided that it didn't make sense to implement a multi-block parameter using a header argument. Now that you mention this however I do agree that a customization parameter is even less appropriate. Given that header arguments may be set on the file and subtree level, I suppose they do offer the range of application appropriate for this sort of parameter, and they are more likely (though not guaranteed) to have their value present in the buffer. I've just pushed up a change converting the `org-babel-noweb-separator' customization variable to the :noweb-sep header argument.

Now, lets say I'd want to accumulate one set of noweb references with one separator and another set with a different one, maybe even in the same document. How'd I do that? Also, using a customization variable for the purpose of changing the semantics of documents is generally fraught with peril: if someone does customize this variable, their documents will break in subtle ways for somebody with a different or no customization. I suggest that such changes should always be visible in the source document itself.

Yes, well -- but changing current behaviour is always tricky -- you never know, how many people/documents rely on it.

Thanks again -- impressive speed in reacting and thinking, and overall a polite and civil environment for contributors. I like that. Kind regards, Tom

The value defaults to a newline giving the same behavior resulting from your patch but can be set to any string. Thanks for pointing this out, -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
