Hello,
Many thanks for the report. I haven't seen this feature in the
documentation. Have i missed anything?
I would suspect as least R users to favor the column name directly in R,but
i don't see any issues implementing it if we are all going in this
direction. Note also that errors are silent for elisp.
Should this be the expected behavior?
#+begin_src elisp :colnames '("Odd")
'((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 |
#+begin_src elisp :colnames '("Odd" "even" "nil")
'((1 2) (3 4) (5 6))
#+end_src
#+RESULTS:
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |
| 5 | 6 |
Best regards,
Jeremie
