The other, perhaps nicer, thing you can do is change the #+srcname of the block which has the effect of changing the results block. You can do that now. But maybe we could allow the user to over-ride the default way in which the #+resname tag is set? E.g. by adding a :resname header argument. Something like this: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+srcname: test2 #+begin_src sh :resname test2-redirected expr 2 + 3 #+end_src #+resname: test2 : 4 #+resname: test2-redirected : 5 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Do you think that would be worthwhile?
