Hi and thx again
Sorry for not being clearer. im trying to tangle not the whole file (which
i think is what org-babel-tangle does) but a specific header with all sub
headers associated with it (they all create one file). after reading the
org documentation at the time i created this function

(defun z/org-tangle-at-block  ()
                     (interactive)
                     (let ((current-prefix-arg '(16)))
                       (call-interactively #'org-babel-tangle)))

so following the previous code blocks example, I previously  went to the
**** main i3 conf header and then issued the function
 z/org-tangle-at-block which would tangle all sub header and blocks to one
file ( ~/.i3/config).
when i try now to run the function i get the

user-error: Point is not in a source code block


really appreciate your help since currently all my dotfile system is broken
:)

best

Z
