##### 14.8.2.6 `:tangle`

The `:tangle` header argument specifies whether or not the code block should be included in tangled extraction of source code files.

- `tangle` The code block is exported to a source code file named after the basename (name w/o extension) of the Org-mode file. E.g., `:tangle yes`.
- `no` The default. The code block is not exported to a source code file. E.g., `:tangle no`.
- other Any other string passed to the `:tangle` header argument is interpreted as a file basename to which the block will be exported. E.g., `:tangle basename`.
