Hello Jack,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

I understand better now. Thanks

Your solution works just fine. I came across ob-session-async a recently
and find it very interesting thanks again.

#+begin_src R :results output html :cache no :async session
  library(xtable)
  x <- rnorm(100)
  y <- x + rnorm(100)
  a <- summary(lm(y ~ x))
  print(xtable(a),type="html",comment=FALSE)
#+end_src

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_export html
<table border=1>
<tr> <th>  </th> <th> Estimate </th> <th> Std. Error </th> <th> t value </th> <th> Pr(&gt;|t|) </th>  </tr>
  <tr> <td align="right"> (Intercept) </td> <td align="right"> 0.1249 </td> <td align="right"> 0.0961 </td> <td align="right"> 1.30 </td> <td align="right"> 0.1969 </td> </tr>
  <tr> <td align="right"> x </td> <td align="right"> 0.9263 </td> <td align="right"> 0.0879 </td> <td align="right"> 10.53 </td> <td align="right"> 0.0000 </td> </tr>
   </table>
#+end_export
