Hi Diego,

Yes, that's what is *now* possible if you set
ob-shell-return-value-is-exit-status to t.

Unless I miss something, it was not possible before today.

#+begin_src shell
echo Hello!
#+end_src

would simply return "Hello!" as a return.

No exit code was *never* output.

... because it was not the case before.  Or maybe *I* miss something.

Can you show me something that was working before and that is not
anymore?

Thanks,
