Re: [babel] BUG in call lines

[Marc-Oliver Ihm <marc-oliver.ihm@online.de>]

Hi Andreas,

I think the behaviour you have discovered is governed by the constant org-babel-block-lob-one-liner-regexp;
However, tweaking this regular expression the right way seems to be really hard (impossible):

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/546433/regular-expression-to-match-outer-brackets

,so the only option seems to be to write a function to do the matching correctly,
but which is probably a big task ...

So as I understand things, I would recommend to stick with the current behaviour and use your workaround :-)


with kind regards, Marc
