[documentation] how to access auth token returned by the login request, in subsequent requests?

[bhanuvrat]

I would like to pass the authentication token received in the login request to others. How can I set the output of one block as a variable to be used by others?

I had been searching all over the internet for days, and figured out right after creating the issue.. Particularly my lack of experience with org-babel syntax was the cause of delay.

Found the relevant help at http://howardism.org/Technical/Emacs/literate-programming-tutorial.html

Hoping that this will help someone else's hunting for the same answers.
