Sorry, correcting myself. I just realized I ignored the `:step' option for clocktable, which breaks the table into chunks. It's not obvious how that should be handled, or indeed if it should, since it's not clear what anyone would want to read that with Babel for. But if we have to consider it, obviously just reading the first element won't do. It also complicates the alternative approach of writing NAME keywords in the clocktable. I suppose `:name my-clocktable :step week' could generate automatically named tables labeled Weekly report starting on: [2026-03-11 Wed] #+NAME: my-clocktable-weekly-2026-03-11 | ... | and so on. But that is hardly useful for Babel purposes unless you know exactly what week you're interested in. I can only think of two ways to handle that: - Read the full text of the dblock and let the user deal with it - Read all readable elements in the dblock into a list, as discussed in the previous message.
