As I just expressed it, I would vote for "show the results as they are", and "as they would be in a terminal". No special header needed, in my current view of the Babel world. In fact, I find the words "partial results" to be rather negative. They just are the results a terminal would display: they're *all the available results* that the block can generate in its execution context. Best regards, Seb PS- I wanna repeat I may be proven wrong. Maybe I don't think (yet?) at all impacts such a decision may have! -- Sébastien Vauban _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
