If I run this block in an org file: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (let ((org-export-before-parsing-hook '((lambda (_backend) nil)))) (org-org-export-as-org)) #+END_SRC I get a traceback that starts with Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument integer-or-marker-p nil) goto-char(nil) (if existing-result (goto-char existing-result) (goto-char (org-element-property :end inline)) (skip-chars-backward " \11")) that seems to originate in org-babel-insert-result(# ("value" "replace") ("emacs-lisp" "(let ((org-export-before-parsing-hook '((lambda (_..." ((:colname-names) (:rowname-names) (:result-params "value" "replace") (:result-type . value) (:results . "value replace") (:exports . "both") (:session . "none") (:cache . "no") (:noweb . "no") (:hlines . "no") (:tangle . "no") (:eval . "never-export")) "" nil 1 "(ref:%s)") nil "emacs-lisp") If I put :results silent that doesn't happen. Is this a bug? The org-file is empty in this case except for that block, but that doesn't seem to matter.
