Oh, my apologies, apparently in scanning this email thread I
mis-understood your use case.

I've just tried to re-create the situation you've described above
(including a file which contains code blocks).  I was unable to
reproduce your problem locally (the results of exporting both to html
and tex are included).  Could you modify the attached example
sufficiently to demonstrate the problem you're experiencing?

Attachment: example.tar.bz2
Description: Binary data

These could appear with the code block, or as a property in an enclosing
heading.

Another example of a case where the original file is needed rather than
the exported file would be the case of exporting a subtree which
includes a block which references a variable defined elsewhere in the
file.

No problem, I believe I misread this email thread.
