I want to have: - a source code block fontified on export - but not executed - and used as input for another source code block.

I can have it fontified in org-mode and not exported if I use a begin_example block. But can I let it be fontified on export (to html or latex) es well? Or, vice versa, can I suppress a begin_src from being executed?

What I have so far is this:

#+name: uninterpreted_sh
#+header: :exports code
#+begin_src sh
echo "Direct"
#+end_src

#+name: uninterpreted
#+begin_example sh
echo "Direct"
#+end_example

#+header: :exports both
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src sh :stdin uninterpreted
VALUE=$(cat)
echo "I got: $VALUE"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: I got: echo "Direct"

There I can get uninterpreted_sh fontified and can use uninterpreted as stdin.

A last resort might be to supress the begin_example from beeing exported altogether?

Note: ther results I get from the last source block is exactly what I want.

  • src blocks aren't evaluated with the :exports code argument. They are evaluated when you pass them as the argument to :stdin. If you change your begin_example block to a begin_src block, doesn't that give you what you want?

  • unfortunately no, because then the shell will be called with echo "Direct" writing Driectto stdout which then is used as result and as stdin for the next block. But I want the whole source block as is to be put as input.

  • In other words, I wand to get as result : I got: echo "Direct", and not : I got: Direct.

  • I would be happy if an example block wiith a language argument would be highlighted. Surprisingly the example block looks like a source block with correct language specific mode in org buffer.

I have a solution, although it's not perfect.

I advice the export function of the source block language in question:

(defun org-babel-execute-exports-code-around (org-fun &rest args)
  "Do not execute code blocks that exports code."
  (let ((exports (cdr (assoc :exports (cadr args)))))
    (if (string= exports "code")
        (car args)
      (apply org-fun args))))
(advice-add 'org-babel-execute:shell :around #'org-babel-execute-exports-code-around)

Then I get what I wanted with the following org file:

#+name: uninterpreted_sh
#+header: :exports code
#+begin_src sh
echo "Direct"
#+end_src

#+header: :exports both
#+header: :results output
#+begin_src sh :stdin uninterpreted_sh
VALUE=$(cat)
echo "I got: $VALUE"
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
: I got: echo "Direct"
