The export block provides text that is to be used "as is" by the html backend. So, "call_numbers()" is treated as html. You need to construct the export block programmatically. Maybe something like #+begin_src emacs-lisp :results html :exports results :var num=numbers() (format "the result is %d" num ) #+end_src HTH, Chuck
