org: Working With Source Code

 
 14 Working with source code
 ***************************
 
 Source code can be included in Org mode documents using a ‘src’ block,
 e.g.:
 
      #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
        (defun org-xor (a b)
           "Exclusive or."
           (if a (not b) b))
      #+END_SRC
 
    Org mode provides a number of features for working with live source
 code, including editing of code blocks in their native major-mode,
 evaluation of code blocks, converting code blocks into source files
 (known as “tangling” in literate programming), and exporting code blocks
 and their results in several formats.  This functionality was
 contributed by Eric Schulte and Dan Davison, and was originally named
 Org-babel.
 
    The following sections describe Org mode’s code block handling
 facilities.
