Re: convert subtree or nested list to table

[tbanelwebmin <tbanelwebmin@free.fr>]

When I run you example I get:

#+RESULTS:
| Category | (unordered (A) (B) (C) (D) (F))                 |
| Writing  | (unordered (great) (good) (ok) (lousy) (awful)) |


To get your result I need to modify
   :results table
to
   :results table code

You may try
   :results table raw
Or try your example without any hidden customisation
   emacs -q
