;;; Code:

(require 'org-macs)
(org-assert-version)

(require 'ob-core)
(require 'org-macs)

(defun org-babel-table-truncate-at-newline (string)
  "Replace newline character with ellipses.
If STRING ends in a newline character, then remove the newline
character and replace it with ellipses."
  (if (and (stringp string) (string-match "[\n\r]\\(.\\)?" string))
      (concat (substring string 0 (match-beginning 0))
	      (when (match-string 1 string) "..."))
    string))

(defmacro org-sbe (source-block &rest variables)
  "Return the results of calling SOURCE-BLOCK with VARIABLES.

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

The quotation marks around the function name, `source-block', are
optional.

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$2\").  \"$\" will also force interpreting
string value literally: $\"value\" will refer to a string, not a
source block name.

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.
