I know that problem...

Decoupling code block evaluation and export has the problem of
decoupling code block evaluation and export ;-), though.  If you export
your document without evaluating first, how can you be sure that the
resulting document is based on the latest version of the code contained
in the code blocks?  So, from my point of view the default is the safe
option and, thus, fine.


Regards,
Andreas
