It does have some limitations though as :noweb isn't as flexible as shell expansion. For instance, I'm not able to do #+name: my-json #+begin_src json { ... } #+end_src #+begin_src bash :noweb yes :results verbatim cat <> | jq '@text') } EOF #+end_src Though it isn't too difficult to work around in this case: #+begin_src bash :noweb yes :results verbatim cat <> EOF0 { "foo": $(cat /dev/stdin) } EOF1 #+end_src It's absolutely a workable solution.
