Hello, everyone!

What I want to do is roughly the following:

#+name: for-expansion

#+begin_src scheme

(display "hello world\n")

#+end_quote

#+name: for-input

#+begin_src scheme

(import (srfi 27))

<<for-expansion>>

#+end_src

#+name: block-in-question

#+begin_src shell :shebang "#! /usr/bin/chibi-scheme" :results output :stdin for-input

(eval (read))

#+end_src

At the moment this doesn't work, because babel _evaluates_ for-input before feeding it into the next block. It is also not possible to make the "for-input" block a +begin_quote block, because then <<noweb>> syntax doesn't get expanded.

At the moment I am getting around it the following way:

This is not very good for two reasons or which the first one is not super importand, but the second is:

1)I am losing syntax highlighting in the for-input block

2)I lose the ability to use the EOF letter combination in the scheme code, which is quite bad, since scheme doesn't have almost any forbidded characters which I could use to demarcate scheme code.

Is there some way to tell babel to _not_ evaluate a block, but rather feed it in as is? Or, maybe, instead, allow <<noweb>> references inside the +begin_example blocks? (I tried substituting begin_quote with begin_example, but they both seem to be not expanding <<noweb>>.

Any recommendations?
