I'd be happy to help with the documentation, but I still don't
understand the behavior. It seems as though some arguments
to :results need to be supplied to the code block, but others have to
be supplied to the call. In my situation, the "org" option
to :results has to be supplied to the call, while the "output" option
has to be supplied to the code block.
What's the logic?
Here's my setup:
#+results: list1
- Item1
- Item2
#+results: list2
- Item3
- Item4
#+source: print_list(lst)
#+begin_src sh
for i in $lst; do
echo "* $i"
done
#+end_src
Here's a way of calling that works
#+call: print_list[:results output](lst=list1) :results org
#+results: print_list[:results output](lst=list1)
#+BEGIN_ORG
* Item1
* Item2
#+END_ORG
but this way of calling doesn't
#+call: print_list[:results output org](lst=list2)
#+results: print_list[:results output org](lst=list2)
: * Item3
: * Item4
and neither does this way
#+call: print_list[:results org](lst=list2) :results output
#+results: print_list[:results org](lst=list2)
or this way
#+call: print_list(lst=list2) :results output org
#+results: print_list(lst=list2)
#+END_ORG
#+BEGIN_ORG
Thanks for any enlightenment!
