Berry" Cc: William Denton , "emacs-orgmode@gnu.org" This setting is one of the gems for developing a personal workflow. My workflow is to never evaluate during export because I want the document to serve as the "master" or the "one source of truth" that is stored in version control. The other perspective is never to store it which is what some people want, = too! Sincerely, Grant Rettke On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 3:34 PM, Charles C.
