Bug: R source block list export not working properly [7.8.11]

Bug: R source block list export not working properly [7.8.11]

[Greg Tucker-Kellogg]

I reported this on the mailing list as a question, but it appears to be an
actual bug, so I thought I should file it formally.  The following MWE
shows the problem when trying to export an R character vector:

#+begin_src R :exports results :results value list
c("x","y","z")
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
- ("x")
- ("y")
- ("z")

This is clearly not what is wanted, more or less ever.  What works,
instead, requires R manipulation of the results, of the form:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :results output raw
a <- c("x","y","z")
cat(paste("-", a), sep="\n")
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
- x
- y
- z

Hi Greg,

The problem is that no one is maintaining ob-r.el.  The author, Dan
Davison, has moved on to other things.

Eric Schulte will apply patches to ob-r.el.  Perhaps you could suggest a
patch that would fix this behavior?

All the best,
Tom

Hi Tom,

I didn't realize.  Thanks for the info; I'll look into it.

Greg
