Subject: send block evaluation results to specified buffer
Date: Wed, 11 Sep 2019 18:14:59 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CALnw4L+xJd3Wo+_nCUWRTihNKrBz3LQJtPXRifaDur9t7FRuRA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 578 bytes --]
Attached is a patch to allow one to specify that results from executing a
block should go to a specific buffer.
When a :buffer is specified, output goes to that buffer, which is erased
first, e.g.:
#+begin_src sh :results buffer :buffer *foo*
echo foo
#+end_src
When no :buffer is specified, buffer *org results* is used, e.g.:
#+begin_src sh :results buffer
echo foo
#+end_src
I've tried to follow the conventions for contributions to Org mode, buf if
I've missed something, please let me know. (I'm happy to sign the FSF
paperwork.)
Thank you for Org mode!

Subject: [PATCH] ob-core.el: block result output to buffer
* lisp/ob-core.el (org-babel-execute-src-block): Support buffers.
Allow specifying that results from executing a block should go to a
buffer.
When a :buffer is specified, output goes to that buffer, which is
erased first, e.g.:
#+begin_src sh :results buffer :buffer *foo*
echo foo
#+end_src
When no :buffer is specified, buffer "*org results*" is used, e.g.:
#+begin_src sh :results buffer
echo foo
#+end_src
Also fixed typo: "it's" vs. "its".
