where to place caption so babel results include caption?

where to place caption so babel results include caption?

[Ken Mankoff]

Hello,

If I have a babel block that generates a table and I'd like latex attributes associated with that table, it seems to work well if I do this:

#+NAME: foo
#+BEGIN_SRC bash :results table
echo "${RANDOM}|${RANDOM}|"
echo "${RANDOM}|${RANDOM}|"
#+END_SRC

#+caption: foo
#+latex_attr: :placement [!h]
#+RESULTS: foo
| 17326 | 29919 |
| 30565 |  9548 |


And I can re-run the babel block and CAPTION and ATTR_LATEX remain.

But if I want to clean with =[C-u] C-c C-v k= or (org-babel-remove-result-one-or-many) and regenerate =C-c C-v C-b= or (org-babel-execute-buffer), then this happens:


#+RESULTS: foo
| 17225 | 29253 |
| 18433 | 27388 |

#+caption: foo
#+latex_attr: :placement [!h]

If I place CAPTION and LATEX_ATTR above the babel block it isn't exported correctly. Is there some way to have this work?

Thanks,

  -k.

Maybe use something like

M-: (org-babel-map-src-blocks nil (org-babel-insert-result "" '("replace"))) RET

to scrub the existing result values without removing the '#+RESULTS' line.

??

Yes that helps! A simple solution. Thank you.

An improvement: Don't insert #+results: if they don't already exist:

(org-babel-map-src-blocks nil
    (if (org-babel-where-is-src-block-result)
        (org-babel-insert-result "" '("replace"))))

  -k.
