Default silent results

Default silent results

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

An old org-code of mine stopped working, and while trying to fix it I
bumped into the following. What am I missing here?

Jarmo

* test
  A simple code block.
  #+name: org-block
  #+BEGIN_SRC org
  | foo | bar |
  |-----+-----|
  |   1 |   2 |
  #+END_SRC

  A silent call produces no results as expected.
  #+call: org-block() :results silent

  This produces results as expected.
  #+call: org-block() :results replace

  #+RESULTS:
  | foo | bar |
  |-----+-----|
  |   1 |   2 |

  But this also behaves like silent, while the manual says that the
  default is "replace."
  #+call: org-block()

Hello

you can tweek the default behaviour  using
org-babel-default-header-args:org variable

My default configuration for org is the following. I did not modify it.

org-babel-default-header-args:org is a variable defined in ‘ob-org.el’.
Its value is ((:results . "raw silent") (:exports . "code"))


Best regards

Jeremie

So the default value is really language dependent, not always "replace"
as the manual suggested. Ok, that explains it. Thanks!

I wonder if that's intended behavior though: what's the reason for org
blocks to have non-default behavior?

Most languages set org-babel-default-header-args:<LANG> to '(),
although some do non-trivial stuff (abc, asymptote, ditaa, dot,
gnuplot, mscgen, plantuml all set :results to file e.g.), but it's not
clear to me why org sets it to "raw silent".
