The online manuals for 16.5 Evaluating Code Blocks seem inconsistent and
include a header argument that seems to no longer be respected.

https://orgmode.org/manual/Evaluating-Code-Blocks.html, for version 9.6,
right now says you can specify a header argument ":eval yes" on source code
blocks to bypass confirmation.

However, neither
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Evaluating-Code-Blocks.html
and
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Evaluating-Code-Blocks.html
mention that. They are both for version 9.5.

It seems like ":eval yes" was removed some time ago -- see
https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/3570/19526.

Did that get re-added? It seems like it was replaced by the
org-confirm-babel-evaluate mechanism --
https://www.gnu.org/savannah-checkouts/gnu/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Code-Evaluation-Security.html.


Just curious/confused. Thanks!

Dan

It did not really get removed.
But its meaning indeed changed slightly, despite what the current manual
says.

:eval yes evaluates the code blocks, but not unconditionally. It still
obeys org-confirm-babel-evaluate.

Does the attached patch clarify the situation?
