Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org-mode mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ I am using org-babel to include the latest version of externally-generated images in my org-mode file, which works well. But there is a problem with using "#+CALL:" to include a link to the image: if the argument to #+CALL includes parentheses, extra spaces are added. Please see the examples below, run with "emacs -Q". (set up sh execution) #+begin_src lisp (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((sh . t))) #+end_src The following block works as expected when run with =C-c C-c=: the link is just the passed filename plus ".txt". #+name: test #+begin_src sh :var filename="test james (fred)" :results file echo "$filename.txt" #+end_src #+RESULTS: test [[file:test james (fred).txt]] But using call adds an extra space when there are parentheses in the argument: #+call: test(filename="test") :results file #+RESULTS: test(filename="test"):results file [[file:test.txt]] #+call: test(filename="test (foo)") :results file #+RESULTS: test(filename="test (foo)") :results file [[file:test (foo) .txt]] This last line shows the bug. As a separate question, is it possible to get ":results file" as the default from the original block so it doesn't have to be repeated in each #+CALL ?
