I ask because the behaviour I am seeing is different depending on whether I use that function or `org-export-as-html'. The former function exports the html code to show the html code, whereas the later exports the html code directly as html. To concretize that a bit, I have a pair of functions that look like this (have I misunderstood they way the export is supposed to work?) -- (defun embed-pdf-function (pdf-file) (concat "\n")) (defun embed-pdf (pdf-file) (interactive "MFile name: ") (insert (concat "#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :results html\n" "(embed-pdf-function \"" pdf-file "\")\n" "#+END_SRC"))) When I call the first in an org buffer and give it "foo.pdf" as an argument, it inserts something that looks like this: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :exports results :results html (embed-pdf-function "foo.pdf") #+END_SRC When I use `org-export-as-html' in that buffer I end up with an html file that includes this, which IS what I would want: But, when I instead use `org-export-region-as-html' in a program (because I am hoping to get the results as a string, rather than in a buffer) using something like this -- (org-export-region-as-html (point-min) (point-max) t 'string) -- the result I get in the html looks like this: 
<iframe src="http://docs.google.com/gview?url=http://example.net/foo.pdf&embedded=true"
style="width:25em; height:38em;" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Which of course is not the iframe I was hoping for, but is the code to render the code for it in html. Should the region export function work the way I am hoping at all? -- can it be made to do so? ( I also have the following set globally, if it is relevant: (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil) (setq org-export-babel-evaluate t) and -- M-x org-version RET ==> "Org-mode version 7.8.11" )
