Description

Does this feature exist in Emacs orgmode core?

Yes

Orgmode link

Feature value

The ‘mkdirp’ header argument creates parent directories for tangled files if the directory does not exist. A ‘yes’ value enables directory creation whereas ‘no’ inhibits it.

Research direction

Start with the Org-mode manual section linked in the issue and locate the source-block tangling entry point in the Lua implementation. Check how header arguments are parsed and how parent directories are handled. Done means mkdirp: yes creates missing parent directories for tangled files, while mkdirp: no does not.
