Re: Anyone doing any fancy customizations of source blocks?
Hi Bill, I'm glad you found the example useful. I've been thinking myself of also un-hiding the header arguments, which I do find useful to have visible.

Here's my config if you want an example: >> https://github.com/zzamboni/dot-emacs/blob/master/init.org#source-code-blocks This example reminded me of something that’s been puzzling me. In the screenshot, the background color of lines that begin and end a source block extend all the way across the screen. When I change the faces for org block begin/end to something with a background color, the color only extends to the end of the characters on that line. The same is true if I change the background color of the content of the block. This is quite distracting. I thought “this must be the consequence of some other mode I’m using or something” and I decided to test that. I fired up “emacs -q” and loaded the code pointed to by the post above. What I get is: What’s the trick to get the background color to extend across the entire line? < Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Tovey-Walsh https://nwalsh.com/ > ...it is significant that we are called the 'information society'—not > the thinking society, not the deliberative society, not the society of > reason and rationality.--Lloyd Morrisett signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Re: Anyone doing any fancy customizations of source blocks?
Hi Brian,
Thanks for the kind words! I wrote a booklet about my setup including
other "literate config" examples, if you are interested:
https://leanpub.com/lit-config/read
I have been fascinated by the idea of literate programming since I got
a copy of The Stanford GraphBase while I was in college. I never used
CWEB directly, but I have tried noweb and other literate programming
tools over the years. However, Emacs + Org-mode + Babel is the first
toolset that I have actually been able to stick with on sustained use
:)
Best,
--Diego

Re: Anyone doing any fancy customizations of source blocks?
If you haven't already, you probably know all about it; but, for any
newcomers on the subject of Literate Programming & source code blocks, etc.
Highly recommend Knuth's CWEB book & of course NOWEB software {which is
CWEB generalized for ALL programming languages}:
https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/cweb.html
Thanks Diego, its a very interesting config example

Anyone doing any fancy customizations of source blocks?
Is anyone doing any fancy formatting of source blocks, such as putting a line in the left fringe, or a box around them, or having some interesting background? I ask because I recently changed the theme I use to get the dark Solarized look I like,[1] and all of a sudden my #+begin_src lines were underlined and #+end_src had a line above it. These come from org-block-begin-line and org-block-end-line, and are shown here, but I'd never noticed them in documentation or had them on my screen before: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/examples/fontify-src-code-blocks.html Aside from fontifying the source blocks I've never done anything special about them (except wonder how I ever did anything without them), but seeing this made me wonder if anyone here has really customized them so they look like medieval manuscripts or something from a futuristic video game.
