Sending cell of code

[KronosTheLate]

Is it possible to send a cell/block of code, delimited by e.g. "##", "%#", or "%%" (Julia, Python and MatLab if I am not mistaken), to the terminal?

If not, concider this a feature request ^_^

Hi @KronosTheLate. I find the need to do this kind of thing quite regularly from markdown files. For example, imagine that a github README.md has a python script embedded in backticks, I would first activate the appropriate interpreter :Iipython, then select the appropriate portion of code, and send to that interpreter with Ctrl-S.

If I understand correctly, you'd like a command which upon activation locates the delimiters (in this case the triple backticks) and sends all code within those delimiters to the active interpreter (for some delimeters one could in principle detect the language to spark up the correct interpreter, though this might be hard).

I think that is just it ^_^
