Org-mode is a fantastic outliner / do-everything organizer. Org-babel is
very promising. It can give you many of the advantages of Sweave with
the ease and power of org-mode. You can write a document with embedded R
code. You can run the code from the buffer, and it can stuff results
back in the org buffer. You can export to html, pdf via latex, and
others. I haven't really used it much, yet (when I tried a pre-release
version, it was still a little raw).
It relates to ESS in that you can hit C-c ' in an R code block, and it
pops that code block into an ESS buffer. I've played with mumamo-mode
and multi-mode to get mixed org-mode / ess-mode in the same buffer, but
both had problems.

Subject: [ESS] org-babel and ESS?
Is anyone on the list following orgmode development? I am new to
orgmode, but this caught my eye. Does this interact with ESS in any
way?

Dan Davison and I (Eric Schulte) are happy to announce that Org-babel
has now been released as a contributed package in Org-mode with
corresponding documentation on worg [1].
Org-babel provides the following functionality:
- Source-code execution and control of output in org buffers
- currently supported languages [2]:
- emacs-lisp
- shell scripts
- R
- ruby
- python
- SQL
- gnuplot
- dot
- ditaa
- asymptote
- Haskell
- OCaml
- css
- sass
- results of code execution can be [3]:
- passed to other source-code blocks
- inserted into Org buffer as Org-mode table
- inserted into Org buffer as escaped text
- inserted into Org buffer as raw Org-mode text
- dropped to a file and linked to from Org-mode buffer (e.g. ditaa)
- ignored
- Meta-programming language for org mode: each source-code block is
treated as a function which can accept arguments in the form of:
- entire org-mode tables
- output of other source-code blocks
- raw text
- values of cells in Org-mode tables using the Org spreadsheet
functionality
- Spreadsheet enhancement: source-code blocks can be called from
spreadsheet functions within tables
- Community maintained library of useful code blocks [4]
- reproducible research [5]
- literate programming with org-mode [6]
- Org-babel has special support for embedding your emacs
initialization in literate Org-mode files [7]
To activate Org-babel simply grab the latest version of Org-mode and add
the following to your Emacs init (more complete instructions at [8]).
(require 'org-babel-init)
Thanks -- Eric
