Why are you not using something that you know works? Try the following for example. #+name: xvar |"ahaRx"| #+name: myblock #+begin_src R :var xxx=xvar xxx #+end_src #+RESULTS: myblock : ahaRx As I understand it, Babel can read from tables and lists only. Actually, to me, reading from a block of text doesn't make much sense for a source block. What kind of data structure would it represent (other than a long string of course :-p)?
