Hi Orgers,
I have an Elisp form in an Org source block, returning a (multi-line)
string. I'd like to put that string into the same Org buffer. I tried
`:results raw', but the string contains `|' characters, so Org treats
its as a table and tries to format it as such, which is not what I want.
How to do that?

Maybe :wrap example?

Thanks a lot, that works! (Apart from the issue with lines beginning
with a star, possibly preceded by whitespace, which are "escaped" with
a comma - but that is a known thing in Org, and I can easily circumvent
it.)
BTW, that means that my blog post for this weekend (about plotting
charts from Org tables, all within Org mode and using ASCII art) is
basically almost ready!
Best,

May you elaborate why you consider this a bug?

I wouldn't call it a bug per se. If my chart looks like this:
|
*
|*
| *
+--*-
it is displayed in Org example block as
|
,*
|*
| *
+--*-
If I change the character to `#' (which does not have a special meaning
to Org like the asterisk), I get the correct
|
#
|#
| #
+--#-
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I'm not sure how to word it better,
though...
Best,
