I am trying to set face for org blocks to invisible for certain folders, so that it is nicer to read the org files with code. I am using .dir-locals.el file.

So, this example for the begin line works:

((org-mode . ((eval . (face-remap-add-relative 'org-block-begin-line '(:foreground "#282c34"))))))

But the following doesn't seem to work. Although, when I evaluate the face-attribute part it gives the above colour string.

((org-mode . ((eval . (face-remap-add-relative 'org-block-begin-line '(:foreground (face-attribute 'default :background)))))))

I've tried quoting the face-attribute function, didn't help.

    You probably need to use backquote: ;;`(:background ,(face-attribute 'default :background). See Backquote (aargh - I can't remember how to quote the backquote...) – NickD Mar 09 '23 at 17:46
  • Yep. That worked. I have seen the commas around, never really new what they do. :). Thanks! – Arktik Mar 09 '23 at 18:30

    There are 58 other questions linked to the one I linked to above, that is canonically used to mark duplicates for this problem. Even though they are all duplicates (in the sense that for all of them the answer is backquote), they all appear at first glance to be different - and yet they are not. This one is another manifestation of the same problem. – NickD Mar 09 '23 at 19:19
  • Yes, both the doc link and the post link answered my question. Thanks. – Arktik Mar 09 '23 at 19:58
