Re: [O] Org babel tangle: Don't export code

[Nathan Neff]

Thanks Tim - I wanted to ask the list -- what does "

By default, Org does not tangle the ‘src’ code block on export." mean in

this web page:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Extracting-source-code.html

I mean, I have all of my begin_src emacs-lisp blocks with no explicit :tangle yes

and they all are exported to the resulting *.el file.  What does the above statement mean?

I just put :tangle no in the block header e.g.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle no

#+end_src

This is how I turn off or remove blocks from my .emacs.d/init.el file,
which is tangled from an or file. You can also put a filename. This is
what I do for Emacs 27, which introduces the early-init.el file i.e.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle early-init.el

#+end_src

#+begin_src emacs-lisp :tangle init.el

#+end_src
