25 ;;; Commentary:
27 ;; Functions for referencing data from the header arguments of a
28 ;; org-babel block. The syntax of such a reference should be
30 ;; #+VAR: variable-name=file:resource-id
32 ;; - variable-name :: the name of the variable to which the value
33 ;; will be assigned
35 ;; - file :: path to the file containing the resource, or omitted if
36 ;; resource is in the current file
38 ;; - resource-id :: the id or name of the resource
40 ;; So an example of a simple src block referencing table data in the
41 ;; same file would be
43 ;; #+TBLNAME: sandbox
44 ;; | 1 | 2 | 3 |
45 ;; | 4 | org-babel | 6 |
47 ;; #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var table=sandbox
48 ;; (message table)
49 ;; #+end_src
