I haven’t written about using Babel with Org mode for a long time but it’s something I use everyday. Most of those uses are trivial but the full power is there when I need it. I can produce summary data and graph that summary almost effortlessly. <\/p>\n
If you’re looking for some examples of what you can do with Org and Babel, Derek Feichtinger has a Github repository with examples using several languages<\/a>. It’s well worth looking at because Org with Babel is the key to writing your documents in a reproducible research way. <\/p>\n You may not be writing journal articles that other researchers will want to check but even if you’re just documenting some aspect of your own work, having a document with all the code embedded in it is tremendously powerful. Right now, I have legacy documents where the code that process their data are separate applications. I also have Org mode documents where the code to process the data is embedded in the document and I can update the results simply by typing\u3010Ctrl<\/kbd>+c<\/kbd> Ctrl<\/kbd>+c<\/kbd>\u3011on the code block. I can tell you that the latter documents are far easier to deal with. <\/p>\n Check out Feichtinger’s collection of examples to see if some of them won’t be useful to you. <\/p>\n UPDATE<\/b>: Added link to Feichtinger’s Github repository. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I haven’t written about using Babel with Org mode for a long time but it’s something I use everyday.
