When I have following src block #+begin_src shell :dir /sudo:: sudo pacman -S --noconfirm lilypond #+end_src It will display result literately. include "^M". I wish org-mode (or ob-shell) can add a result type like `:results term` (maybe other name) to replace those "^M" etc special characters and might convert some shell color highlight special sequences like [[45 similar things.
