Re: [O] [babel] Commenting out src blocks for tangling

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I cannot make this work.

I just tried it with my init file and it did not work. Here is a
minimal example. Save this as "test.org":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Testing

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(message "hello world")
#+END_SRC

* COMMENT Commenting

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(message "Salut le monde 2")
#+END_SRC
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then do a "M-x org-babel-load-file" giving "test.org" as file name.

If you look at *Messages*, or at the generated test.el, you will see the
second block has been tangled.

Am I missing something with this feature, or is this a bug? (I tried
with "emacs -Q" and loading a current org, and the same happens.)

Thanks,

Alan
