FWIW, I'm not -- yet? -- convinced we should see the results of inline code blocks inlined in the paragraph (and I'm not sure either it does not cause interpretation problems); but, for sure, I'd love to be able to preview the value interactively, at least. > So, I do not doubt, that you and Nicolas are right with that > replaceable inline results are not implemented and are -- from > orgmodes perspective -- expected to be evaluated only during export. > > My message was meant more as a feature request saying that I consider > replaceable inline results useful and would like to see them supported > by org. Could you better explain your statement: "Limiting the use of inline code to eval-on-export-only renders all the org-babel-execute-subtree and related functionality useless"? I'm not sure to fully understand your use-case. That'd certainly be worth explaining why you think it must be changed in the first instance if you'd like Eric or Nicolas (or someone else) to change that. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
