Each element of VARIABLES should be a list of two elements: the first element is the name of the variable and second element is a string of its value. So this `org-sbe' construct (org-sbe \"source-block\" (n $2) (m 3)) is the equivalent of the following source code block: #+begin_src emacs-lisp :var results=source-block(n=val_at_col_2, m=3) \\ :results silent results #+end_src NOTE: The quotation marks around the function name, `source-block', are optional. NOTE: By default, string variable names are interpreted as references to source-code blocks, to force interpretation of a cell's value as a string, prefix the identifier a \"$\" (e.g., \"$$2\" instead of \"$2\" or \"$@2$2\" instead of \"@2$2\"). NOTE: It is also possible to pass header arguments to the code block. In this case a table cell should hold the string value of the header argument which can then be passed before all variables as shown in the example below. | 1 | 2 | :file nothing.png | nothing.png | #+TBLFM: @1$4=\\='(org-sbe test-sbe $3 (x $1) (y $2))" (declare (debug (form form))) (let* ((header-args (if (stringp (car variables)) (car variables) "")) (variables (if (stringp (car variables)) (cdr variables) variables))) (let* (quote (variables (mapcar (lambda (var) ;; ensure that all cells prefixed with $'s are strings (cons (car var) (delq nil (mapcar (lambda (el) (if (eq '$ el) (prog1 nil (setq quote t)) (prog1 (cond (quote (format "\"%s\"" el)) ((stringp el) (org-no-properties el)) (t el)) (setq quote nil)))) (cdr var))))) variables))) (unless (stringp source-block) (setq source-block (symbol-name source-block))) `(let ((result (if ,(and source-block (> (length source-block) 0)) (let ((params ',(org-babel-parse-header-arguments (concat ":var results=" source-block "[" header-args "]" "(" (mapconcat (lambda (var-spec) (if (> (length (cdr var-spec)) 1) (format "%S='%S" (car var-spec) (mapcar #'read (cdr var-spec))) (format "%S=%s" (car var-spec) (cadr var-spec)))) variables ", ") ")")))) (org-babel-execute-src-block nil (list "emacs-lisp" "results" params) '((:results .
