org-babel, R, and org-babel-open-src-block-result

org-babel, R, and org-babel-open-src-block-result

[Leo Alekseyev]

I recently started using org-babel with R, and so far I think it's
pretty great!  I'm still getting accustomed to org-babel workflow and
am playing with available options.  I have a couple of questions:

I noticed that C-c C-o (org-babel-open-src-block-result) always gives
me an empty *Org-Babel Results* buffer, even if there's output printed
to #+results section.  Is this a bug?  Am I doing something wrong?

On a similar note, is there an option for the #+ results session to be
completely suppressed?..  I can see situations where I might simply
want to send the code to the inferior process and examine the results
there using :results output :session, or perhaps I'm running the code
just for the side effects.  It would be nice if I could say e.g.
:results none.

Thanks and keep up the good work with org-babel!

 From the manual:

The following results options indicate what happens with the results once they 
are collected.

     * silent
The results will be echoed in the minibuffer but will not be inserted into the 
Org-mode buffer. E.g., :results output silent.

Thanks Erik.  It would be nice if section 14.9 of the Org manual could reference 
14.8.2.  In general, it would be nice if the org HTML documents could support 
the same outline folding cycling behavior that you see in Emacs buffers, 
otherwise it's difficult to see the surrounding context.

I'd still like to know what (org-babel-open-src-block-result) is supposed to 
do...  Haven't found that in the manual.

I couldn't agree more, I've just pushed up this change to the manual.

I personally prefer to use the Emacs `info' interface, both because you
can easily text search through all parts of the manual, and for issues
of navigation and viewing a wider context.

Hmm, apparently in some cases it does nothing currently due to a bug,
I've just fixed this buy, so please pull the latest Org-mode, and try
copying the following block and results into and Org-mode buffer and
calling C-c C-o from within the code block.

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (mapcar #'list (reverse (org-babel-src-block-names)))
#+end_src

#+results:
| tangle-A                        |
| tangle-C                        |
| i-have-a-name                   |
| add-column-in-table-0           |
| rec-string-wrap                 |
| add-col                         |
| a-list                          |
| lob-header                      |
| test                            |
| name                            |
| cycle                           |
| body                            |
| eight                           |
| org-list                        |
| numbers                         |

I have not noticed this myself, can you share an example?

Yes, for a complete list of the available header arguments and their
effects please see
