An equivalent example with slightly more visible output --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+source: time #+begin_src emacs-lisp (current-time-string) #+end_src #+call: time() #+results: time() : Thu Aug 5 20:45:34 2010 --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Note, currently the parenthesis after "time" are required, which perhaps shouldn't be the case -- Eric > > > Is the above definitely not working for you?
