Aloha Kaushal,

There are four classes of :results header arguments. :results replace
refers to how the results are handled. :results verbatim refers to the
type of result returned.

Hi Thomas,

Yes, I learned that from the org info manual. But it is still confusing because in the "Type" subsection in "(org) results" info node, it says:

> The following options are mutually exclusive and specify what type of

results the code block will return. By default, results are inserted as

either a table or scalar depending on their value.

So what determines if the results should be table formatted or kept verbatim (scalar)?
