Thanks for the tip but... that may be a bit drastic, I mean forcing every snippet of *every language* to behave like that: I'm convinced it's the most natural choice for sh blocks, but maybe the less natural (i.e., must be overridden) for all other programming languages. In fact, I have the strong impression that we should need this on a language basis, something like: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (add-to-list 'org-babel-default-header-args '( (sh . (:results . "output")) (emacs-lisp . (:results . "value")))) #+end_src I feel the same about the Babel "file" property: #+BABEL: :engine mysql :cmdline -S server -U sa -P secret -d storeall -n -w 700 -s " " Not being able to specify the language these defaults apply to may rapidly lead to clashes... Or we have to set the default for the language for which we have the biggest number of chunks, and explicitly set the values for all the other snippets that are written in other languages. Maybe allowing such a specification line? #+BABEL sql: :engine mysql :cmdline -S server -U sa -P secret -d storeall -n -w 700 -s " " Best regards, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
