Hi Max,

This is one bit of literate programming I haven't mastered myself yet. I generally have code blocks and print results, and then manually re-enter them in the paragraph below. I would like what you are looking for. The best solution I have, which I don't use often, is to use sessions and inline code.

For example, to insert the number three I could do the following, if a = 1 and b = 2, defined previously in session "foo": src_octave[:session foo]{a+b} {{{results(=3=)}}}

I've been thinking about other ways to achieve this... perhaps my code blocks update a table. That table might be included in the text for the reader. Then one code session reads it all in, so I have access to all results in one session and can use them in the text...

  -k.
