+*** Babel: support for Stan language
+New ob-stan.el library.
+
+Evaluating a Stan block can produce two different results.
+
+1. Dump the source code contents to a file.
+
+   This file can then be used as a variable in other blocks, which
+   allows interfaces like RStan to use the model.
+
+2. Compile the contents to a model file.
+
+   This provides access to the CmdStan interface.  To use this, set
+   ~org-babel-stan-cmdstan-directory~ and provide a ~:file~ argument
+   that does not end in ".stan".
+
+For more information and usage examples, visit
+http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-stan.html

 ** New functions
