Hello Eric, The posted solution works. But the issue is that I have to do this a lot of times for selective code chunks in multiple documents. Writing the sexp each time is not very elegant. Besides, if I were to come up with some solution than I did not want it to break anything else. Perhaps my question is still ambiguous and the right question should be does value of ":results" plist overrride the one from ":exports", i.e., is there any precedence order to the chunk options that is implicit, that i have not yet grasped from the documentation? Thanks for your patience and help. Regards, Shripad.
