I agree with Eric S. (see below) that this would be the best location for it in the context of org-article.cls.

AFAICT, header arguments in the Library of Babel aren't used as the defaults when the function is called, so there is no reason to have them there in this context. 2) I've taken out the code that generates #+begin_latex and # +end_latex. This makes it possible to use the function in the Org- mode buffer: #+lob: elispgantt(table=gantttesttable) :results output latex and also within a LaTeX source code block: #+lob: elispgantt(table=gantttesttable) :results output raw Thanks very much for the useful code, BTW.

You can see my version of your code = here:

Hi = Tom,

I think this code should live in the main = library-of-babel.org file.  I

library of = babel.

Hi = Eric,

Thanks for = asking about the Library of Babel.  I'm still figuring = out
the best way to use it and = welcome your advice.

Here is the = approach I've drafted.  Do you think this is a = reasonable
way to = go?

The GANTT Emacs lisp code can = either be placed in the buffer with = the
GANTT chart table or it can be installed in = the
[[= http://orgmode.org/manual/Library-of-Babel.html#Library-of-Babel
][Library of = Babel]].
Installing local code in the = Library of Babel is best accomplished = by
establishing one or more Org-mode files for this purpose = and keeping
them in a place that won't be = overwritten when Org-mode is = updated.
For each of these local files, = place a line like the following = in
=3D.emacs=3D to make the source code blocks accessible to = the Library:

#+source: = load-local-lob
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :exports = code
 (org-babel-lob-ingest = "~/org/local-lob.org")
#+end_src

If this is off = the mark, and the code should go in the main = Library,
then I'd want to = check with Eric F. first about the changes I = made.

All the = best,
Tom
