Sean, that helps too, thank you. Now that you and Sebastien have gone to
all this trouble I found the part of the manual that sort of describes
this, but I clearly didn't understand it before. Possible needs a more
worked-out example for the slow among us, like self.
I've noticed one curious thing in trying a perl example. See first:
---------------------8<----------------------------------
#+name: wake
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
Howth Castle and Environs.
Sir Tristram, violer d'amores, fr'over the short sea, had passen-
core rearrived from North Armorica on this side the scraggy
isthmus of Europe Minor to wielderfight his penisolate war: nor
had topsawyer's rocks by the stream Oconee exaggerated themselse
to Laurens County's gorgios while they went doublin their mumper
all the time: nor avoice from afire bellowsed mishe mishe to
#+END_EXAMPLE
#+begin_src perl :var inlines=wake :results output
foreach $aln (split(/$/,$inlines)) {
print $aln;
}
#+end_src
#+results:
: riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend
: of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to
: Howth Castle and Environs.

---------------------8<----------------------------------
and then a more complicated block that's closer to my real task:

NOTICE THAT while both return the result as Example text, the first simple
prepends each line with a colon, simple Example form, and the second wraps
the result in an Example block without altering the lines.
Not sure why? Is this just a function of the number of lines of the text?
