Thanks. That seems very good.

But if the code block is directly producing org markup, what should I
tell my parent org file to expect?

My source block began like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :results value :colnames yes :hline yes

I would expect this to change now. How do I say that the result is
already formatted for org?
