Okay, this is very useful!  It's difficult to get this working with
Octave but I think I have managed it.  It also doesn't allow for
parametrised calls to the source code block but that's easy to simulate
with a two level approach, I think.

For completeness, I've attached a file which shows that it *can* work
but also that it confuses the export of lists (Nicolas?) if the inline
code is in a list item.

Brilliant.  Low priority is perfectly fine.  A solution is possible as
it stands and that's what matters!

Thanks,

for i=1:2, p(i) = 10^(coeff(i,A) - coeff(i,B)/(T+coeff(i,C))); endfor
p(b)/p(c)
  #+end_src

  The relative volatility is src_octave[:var it=benzene-chlorobenzene-relative-volatility :results output raw]{disp(it);}.

  If I put the result in a list:
  - it does not work as the result is src_octave[:var it=benzene-chlorobenzene-relative-volatility :results output raw]{disp(it);} and the list processing is confused.
