Re: Trouble exporting ditaa blocks to latex or html

[Eric Schulte <schulte.eric@gmail.com>]

Hi Jeff,

First off, be sure that evaluation works interactively by pressing C-c
C-c with the cursor on the code block body.

Second, try adding an ":exports results" header argument to the code
block.  Aside from that I fear that the problem may be due to something
in your config given that the example below exports for me as expected.

I'd suggest trying to start emacs with the -Q option, then only a
minimal amount of config required to enable evaluation of ditaa export,
and see if the problem persists.

Best -- Eric
