I guess you meant ":results value", then? Because "output" does not return
anything with your code.
As you can imagine, though the list could be processed by R, the fact it's not
a table makes it unreadable as is in the Org buffer and in a generated PDF (at
least, without extra conversion blocks).
See http://screencast.com/t/QVd0VDLYE1.
Would there be a way to get a proper table more directly?
Best regards,
Seb
