Subject: Re: R terminal output does not match src block output due to ">" character in results
Date: Tue, 11 Jan 2022 17:30:41 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+M2ft-TFHa7cy43-1-WpFr6weYp2ZU0uwiVoUpuo-1kTR93=Q@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CA+M2ft-AmM8+d-pOW6-+N19QmCm790Lbqbgkh4w3fvRJMMhFGg@mail.gmail.com>

Ok, after more searching, I found that this is a duplicate issue
that's already been discussed. Not sure why all my incantations didn't
bring me to the reddit post or mailing list from google, but simply
searching "prompt blocks R" on r/orgmode directly got me here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/orgmode/comments/pt3em4/source_block_modifying_format_of_results_r/

And that links to a patch:
https://gist.github.com/gtuckerkellogg/e356d20497cfdc8e4fc683412e320e3e

And that points to this mailing list thread where the topic has already come up:
https://list.orgmode.org/87zgxc42qg.fsf@gmail.com/

It appears the discussion/fix is stalled out at this point?

Best regards,
John
