I like the short notation of org-babel function calls. E.g. you can define a named code block like this
#+name: get_date
#+begin_src http
GET http://date.jsontest.com
#+end_src
and then hit C-c C-c in some inline call to get the results for some parameters (if it's a single line result that is):
call_get_date[:select ".date"]() {{{results(=12-06-2016=)}}}
Or you can even do the code definition inline thus getting rid of 4 more lines:
src_http[:select ".date"]{GET http://date.jsontest.com} {{{results(=12-06-2016=)}}}
I find that is pretty cool, and I would like to use it more often. But I don't see a way to set a name for the inline result to reference it for later :var
assignments. Is there any? Or is there some simple elisp which could be employed here?
