Hi al,

This is currently possible by adding either "raw" or "org" to your
results headers.  So the following should work.

#+srcname: demoruby
#+begin_src ruby :results output org
require 'date'
puts "* heading for demo"
puts "This demo done on #{Date.today}"
puts "Try to create a table in org-mode syntax"
puts "| letter | number |"
puts "|-----------------|"
puts "| a      |      1 |"
puts "| b      |      2 |"
#+end_src

I need to update the documentation to reflect some of the more recent
development.

Best -- Eric
