Greetings, I was perplexed when a table in my exported latex/pdf document came out garbled, to find out it's being included like "normal text." In another block with well-behaving output, I observed the same src header args, but it was wrapped in #+begin/end_example for free, without me trying.
Here's a reproducible example. This output would not look right when exported: #+begin_src R :exports results :results output :eval yes data.frame( x = c(1:3)) #+end_src #+RESULTS: : x : 1 1 : 2 2 : 3 3 >From trial and error, it seems the magical length is 9 where it gets wrapped: #+begin_src R :exports results :results output :eval yes data.frame( x = c(1:9)) #+end_src #+RESULTS: #+begin_example x 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 #+end_example I see nothing like this mentioned in the docs on the results of evaluation: https://orgmode.org/manual/Results-of-Evaluation.html For now, my workaround is to use :results output code. I guess my typical output must usually be longer than 9, or I use :results value and manually add header rows to the generated org table, as I don't recall dealing with this before! Thanks for help understanding. Best regards, John
