Hi Ken, In order for caching to work, the results of the code block must exist in the org-mode file. For example, the following code block will be evaluated when triggered either interactively or during export
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :cache yes (+ 2 2) #+end_src alternately, this block will not be evaluated when triggered either interactively or on export, because the cached results are present #+begin_src emacs-lisp :cache yes (+ 2 2) #+end_src #+results[9b77429d6cea71daf37e21ee09170810b9905066]: : 4 In your example, for the code block to not be evaluated as part of the export process, you must first evaluate it manually within the Org-mode file, leaving the results (with the hash tag) saved in the Org-mode file.
