27 ;; Org-Babel support for interactive terminals. Mostly shell scripts.
28 ;; Heavily inspired by 'eev' from Eduardo Ochs
30 ;; Adding :cmd and :terminal as header arguments
31 ;; :terminal must support the -T (title) and -e (command) parameter
33 ;; You can test the default setup. (xterm + sh) with
34 ;; M-x org-babel-screen-test RET
