The Library of Babel is an extensible collection of ready-made and
easily-shortcut-callable source-code blocks for handling common tasks.
Org-babel comes pre-populated with the source-code blocks located in
this file. It is possible to add source-code blocks from any org-mode
file to the library by calling (org-babel-lob-ingest
"path/to/file.org")
.
This file is included in worg mainly less for viewing through the web interface, and more for contribution through the worg git repository. If you have code snippets that you think others may find useful please add them to this file and contribute them to worg.
The raw Org-mode text of this file can be downloaded at library-of-babel.org
A collection of simple utility functions:
input
Read the contents of the file at file
. The :results vector
and
:results scalar
header arguments can be used to read the contents of
file as either a table or a string.
(if (string= format "csv")
(with-temp-buffer
(org-table-import (expand-file-name file) nil)
(org-table-to-lisp))
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents (expand-file-name file))
(buffer-string)))
Write data
to a file at file
. If data
is a list, then write it
as a table in traditional Org-mode table syntax.
(flet ((echo (r) (if (stringp r) r (format "%S" r))))
(with-temp-file file
(case (and (listp data)
(or ext (intern (file-name-extension file))))
('tsv (insert (orgtbl-to-tsv data '(:fmt echo))))
('csv (insert (orgtbl-to-csv data '(:fmt echo))))
(t (org-babel-insert-result data)))))
nil
Read local or remote file in json format into emacs-lisp objects.
(require 'json)
(cond
(file
(with-temp-filebuffer file
(goto-char (point-min))
(json-read)))
(url
(require 'w3m)
(with-temp-buffer
(w3m-retrieve url)
(goto-char (point-min))
(json-read))))
The following code blocks make use of the googlecl Google command line tool. This tool provides functionality for accessing Google services from the command line, and the following code blocks use googlecl for reading from and writing to Google docs with Org-mode code blocks.
The google
command seems to be throwing “Moved Temporarily” errors
when trying to download textual documents, but this is working fine
for spreadsheets.
(let* ((file (concat title "." format))
(cmd (format "google docs get --format %S --title %S" format title)))
(message cmd) (message (shell-command-to-string cmd))
(prog1 (if (string= format "csv")
(with-temp-buffer
(org-table-import (shell-quote-argument file) '(4))
(org-table-to-lisp))
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents (shell-quote-argument file))
(buffer-string)))
(delete-file file)))
For example, a line like the following can be used to read the
contents of a spreadsheet named num-cells
into a table.
#+call: gdoc-read(title="num-cells"")
A line like the following can be used to read the contents of a document as a string.
#+call: gdoc-read(title="loremi", :format "txt")
Write data
to a google document named title
. If data
is tabular
it will be saved to a spreadsheet, otherwise it will be saved as a
normal document.
(let* ((format (if (listp data) "csv" "txt"))
(tmp-file (make-temp-file "org-babel-google-doc" nil (concat "." format)))
(cmd (format "google docs upload --title %S %S" title tmp-file)))
(with-temp-file tmp-file
(insert
(if (listp data)
(orgtbl-to-csv
data '(:fmt (lambda (el) (if (stringp el) el (format "%S" el)))))
(if (stringp data) data (format "%S" data)))))
(message cmd)
(prog1 (shell-command-to-string cmd) (delete-file tmp-file)))
example usage

This source block can be used to wrap a table in the latex booktabs
environment. The source block adds a toprule
and bottomrule
(so
don’t use hline
at the top or bottom of the table). The hline
after the header is replaced with a midrule
.
Note that this function bypasses the Org-mode LaTeX exporter and calls
orgtbl-to-generic
to create the output table. This means that the
entries in the table are not translated from Org-mode to LaTeX.
It takes the following arguments – all but the first two are optional.
arg | description |

table | a reference to the table |
align | alignment string |

This block can be used to wrap a table in the latex longtable
environment, it takes the following arguments – all but the first two
are optional.

This source block builds on booktabs. It accepts two additional arguments, both of which are optional.

(from info:org#Library of Babel)
The “Library of Babel” consists of code blocks that can be called from any Org mode file. Code blocks defined in the “Library of Babel” can be called remotely as if they were in the current Org mode buffer (see *note Evaluating code blocks:: for information on the syntax of remote code block evaluation).
The central repository of code blocks in the “Library of Babel” is housed in an Org mode file located in the ‘doc’ directory of Org mode.
Users can add code blocks they believe to be generally useful to their “Library of Babel.” The code blocks can be stored in any Org mode file and then loaded into the library with ‘org-babel-lob-ingest’.
Code blocks located in any Org mode file can be loaded into the “Library of Babel” with the ‘org-babel-lob-ingest’ function, bound to ‘C-c C-v i’.
Cette fonction permet d’ajouter des attributs lors de l’export d’image vers du LaTeX.
En voici un exemple d’utilisation :
Ce filtre extrait toutes les variables en repérant les affectations ou les définitions. Exemples de définitions :- X=Y
- X : Y
On l’utilise de la façon suivante :
echo "Ceci est un test"
echo "Ceci est un super test"
echo " FOO_bar-asdf : value"
echo " FOO_bar-asdf = value"
echo "stderr:/temp_dd/igrida-fs1/gjadi/OAR_%jobid%.stderrls"
#+RESULTS[814de10c731ee52b58719f5f02e47969472debbd]: test_extract_variables_1
/temp_dd/igrida-fs1/gjadi/OAR_%jobid%.stderrls
echo "Ceci est un test"
echo "Ceci est un super test"
echo " FOO_bar-asdf : value"
echo " FOO_bar-asdf = value"
echo "stderr:/temp_dd/igrida-fs1/gjadi/OAR_%jobid%.stderrls"
#+RESULTS[8b48cd11d9dec3f78b5c3429e2f0bb9d87366491]: test_extract_variables_2
FOO_bar-asdf | value |
FOO_bar-asdf | value |
stderr | /temp_dd/igrida-fs1/gjadi/OAR_%jobid%.stderrls |
Par la suite, on peut récupérer les résultats comme ceci :
(assoc "stderr" AL)
#+RESULTS[361b8149afcbda9965f54a8a3d88da62ca100c1f]:
stderr | /temp_dd/igrida-fs1/gjadi/OAR_%jobid%.stderrls |
