58 (declare-function org-trim "org" (s &optional keep-lead))
60 (defun org-babel-table-truncate-at-newline (string)
61 "Replace newline character with ellipses.
62 If STRING ends in a newline character, then remove the newline
63 character and replace it with ellipses."
64 (if (and (stringp string) (string-match "[\n\r]\\(.\\)?" string))
65 (concat (substring string 0 (match-beginning 0))
66 (when (match-string 1 string) "...")) string))
68 (defmacro org-sbe (source-block &rest variables)
69 "Return the results of calling SOURCE-BLOCK with VARIABLES.
71 Each element of VARIABLES should be a list of two elements: the
72 first element is the name of the variable and second element is a
73 string of its value.
75 So this `org-sbe' construct
77 (org-sbe \"source-block\" (n $2) (m 3))
79 is the equivalent of the following source code block:
81 #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var results=source-block(n=val_at_col_2, m=3) :results silent
82 results
83 #+end_src
85 NOTE: The quotation marks around the function name,
86 'source-block', are optional.
88 NOTE: By default, string variable names are interpreted as
89 references to source-code blocks, to force interpretation of a
90 cell's value as a string, prefix the identifier a \"$\" (e.g.,
91 \"$$2\" instead of \"$2\" or \"$@2$2\" instead of \"@2$2\").
93 NOTE: It is also possible to pass header arguments to the code
94 block. In this case a table cell should hold the string value of
95 the header argument which can then be passed before all variables
96 as shown in the example below.
