Re: [O] [SOLVED] How to use xml src block as data input?

[John Kitchin]

all things in emacs are elisp...

You can use this function:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp

(defun get-xml (name)

  (save-excursion

    (org-babel-goto-named-src-block name)

    (org-element-property :value (org-element-context))))

#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:

: get-xml

like this in a python (or other general lang) block to get the xml as a string that you parse in the language:

#+BEGIN_SRC python :var data="" "xml-example")

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

root = ET.fromstring(data)

for child in root:

    print(child.tag, child.attrib)

#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:

: to {}

: from {}

: heading {}

: body {}

I don't know about noweb.

Thanks, John and Simonyi. This is a solution on Elisp. Not general way.
But as a intermedia step, really workable. I chose this method.

BTW, is it possible to archived with noweb reference <<xml-data>> ?
Like

#+begin_src python :var data=""> ...
#+end_src
