Subject: Re: convert subtree or nested list to table
Date: Thu, 8 Jul 2021 11:27:52 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9b89ce56-33a7-8d8a-404d-12ee6090dc01@free.fr> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAN_Dec_OhmtoV+Ej3Ld7UTx+R5EiDfeEgYJ4Z7ExT1H5=0V=ZQ@mail.gmail.com>

When I run you example I get:

#+RESULTS:
| Category | (unordered (A) (B) (C) (D) (F))                 |
| Writing  | (unordered (great) (good) (ok) (lousy) (awful)) |


To get your result I need to modify
   :results table
to
   :results table code

You may try
   :results table raw
Or try your example without any hidden customisation
   emacs -q
