converting to "init.org"

converting to "init.org"

I have been converting/building my "init.el" to "init.org" and it is
working well, but there are a few things that I'm not sure
about. For instance, I have a command to display 21 days in my
agenda, but it is not happening. This is the command -

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
** Agenda
                    
*** Agenda config                                                   
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 '(org-agenda-include-all-todo t)
 '(org-agenda-span 21)
 '(org-agenda-include-diary t)
 '(org-agenda-insert-diary-extract-time t)
 '(org-agenda-insert-diary-strategy (quote top-level))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Its obviously a fault in my configuration, but I can't see what the
solution is. At the moment I just get the default display of just 7
days.

Thanks
Sharon.

These are just quoted lists containing a variable and presumably a value
said variable should be set to. This lisp code does "nothing" when
executed, at least not setting these variables. To me this looks like
something, that belongs into a customize-set-variables call. I am not
sure how to get those into your init.org file. I just let them reside in
my init.el file, which is also responsible for

initialization via org-babel-load-file.

Yes, these are probably cut-n-pasted from the customize file but without
the part that really does the work:

(custom-set-variables
  '(org-agenda-span 21))

Aloha Sharon,

You need to set the variables with =set= or =setq=.
