27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This file is not intended to ever be loaded by org-babel, rather it
30 ;; is a template for use in adding new language support to Org-babel.
31 ;; Good first steps are to copy this file to a file named by the
32 ;; language you are adding, and then use `query-replace' to replace
33 ;; all strings of "template" in this file with the name of your new
34 ;; language.
36 ;; If you have questions as to any of the portions of the file defined
37 ;; below please look to existing language support for guidance.
39 ;; If you are planning on adding a language to org-babel we would ask
40 ;; that if possible you fill out the FSF copyright assignment form
41 ;; available at https://orgmode.org/request-assign-future.txt as this
42 ;; will make it possible to include your language support in the core
43 ;; of Org-mode, otherwise unassigned language support files can still
44 ;; be included in the contrib/ directory of the Org-mode repository.
46 ;;; Requirements:
48 ;; Use this section to list the requirements of this language. Most
49 ;; languages will require that at least the language be installed on
50 ;; the user's system, and the Emacs major mode relevant to the
51 ;; language be installed as well.
53 ;;; Code:
54 (require 'ob)
55 (require 'ob-ref)
56 (require 'ob-comint)
57 (require 'ob-eval)
58 ;; possibly require modes required for your language
60 ;; optionally define a file extension for this language
61 (add-to-list 'org-babel-tangle-lang-exts '("template" . "tmp"))
63 ;; optionally declare default header arguments for this language
64 (defvar org-babel-default-header-args:template '())
66 ;; This function expands the body of a source code block by doing
67 ;; things like prepending argument definitions to the body, it should
68 ;; be called by the `org-babel-execute:template' function below.
69 (defun org-babel-expand-body:template (body params &optional processed-params)
70 "Expand BODY according to PARAMS, return the expanded body."
71 (require 'inf-template)
72 (let ((vars (nth 1 (or processed-params (org-babel-process-params params)))))
73 (concat
74 (mapconcat ;; define any variables
75 (lambda (pair)
76 (format "%s=%S"
77 (car pair) (org-babel-template-var-to-template (cdr pair))))
78 vars "\n") "\n" body "\n")))
80 ;; This is the main function which is called to evaluate a code
81 ;; block.
83 ;; This function will evaluate the body of the source code and
84 ;; return the results as emacs-lisp depending on the value of the
85 ;; :results header argument
86 ;; - output means that the output to STDOUT will be captured and
87 ;; returned
88 ;; - value means that the value of the last statement in the
89 ;; source code block will be returned
91 ;; The most common first step in this function is the expansion of the
92 ;; PARAMS argument using `org-babel-process-params'.
94 ;; Please feel free to not implement options which aren't appropriate
95 ;; for your language (e.g. not all languages support interactive
96 ;; "session" evaluation). Also you are free to define any new header
97 ;; arguments which you feel may be useful -- all header arguments
98 ;; specified by the user will be available in the PARAMS variable.

124 ;; when forming a shell command, or a fragment of code in some
125 ;; other language, please preprocess any file names involved with
126 ;; the function `org-babel-process-file-name'. (See the way that
