I just have one question, as I'm puzzled by the lack of `:' in front of the
"properties": how do we distinguish the argument "value" from the argument
"name"?
For example, how do we translate, in the new syntax,
#+BABEL: :results output code append
(where `:results' is the "name", and `output', `code' and `append' are
"values")?
Best regards,
Seb
