Also,

-k.

Wow - sorry guys but this is really hard to understand - also I found that the following code will

mess up my config - all of my *other* code blocks are *not* "tangled" and the only code

block which is "tangled" is the one which I issue :tangle yes fo.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :tangle yes

(some emacs lisp here)

#+END_SRC

The documentation is really vague here and I did not expect it. I mean, I set :tangle no according to

Tim Cross, and that's fine - the code is not tangled. Then I change it to :tangle yes and then it's the

*only* block which is tangled? How could I get that from the docs here?

https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html

I'll propose a change to the docs and submit it - I just want to know if I'm misunderstanding something

about the docs or if others find that the docs could use some rephrasing (suggestions welcome).

Thanks,
