How to set options for verbatim environments produced by org babel

How to set options for verbatim environments produced by org babel

[Titus von der Malsburg]

I’m using the ~Verbatim~ environment from the fancyvrb package to display Org Babel results in my Beamer slides.  The ~Verbatim~ environment accepts options for setting the font size among other things.  This is useful when the output of a code block has longer lines that do not fit on a slide.

Is there a way to set options for the verbatim environment in Org mode?

Example: This Org source

  #+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :results value output
  1+2
  #+END_SRC

exports to

  \begin{verbatim}
  3
  \end{verbatim}

But I’d like to be able to translate something like this:

  #+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :results value output :options [fontsize=\small]
  1+2
  #+END_SRC

to

  \begin{verbatim}[fontsize=\small]
  3
  \end{verbatim}

I’m sure there is a way to do this but couldn’t find it.

I cannot answer your actual question but I achieve the same outcome in a
different manner.  I name my src blocks and then add LaTeX directives to
the output as required:

#+begin_src org
  ,#+name: rblock
  ,#+BEGIN_SRC octave :exports results :results value output
    1+2
  ,#+END_SRC

  ,#+latex: {\small 
  ,#+results: rblock
  : ans =  3
  ,#+latex: }
#+end_src

(I had to change your example to octave as I don't have R installed ;-))

I do this all the time with beamer in particular to get output in my
teaching slides.

HTH,

Thanks, Eric.  I didn’t know results could be detached from their code blocks via names.  That’s really useful.

However, a clean way to pass options to the verbatim (or listing) environment used for displaying results would be great nonetheless.
