Thanks for the link.

This is the workaround I've used thus far. I don't like it very much, since it is fragile w.r.t.

I think I can help if that's indeed what you want. This would be handy information to have, but definitely not a top priority ATM.

This was also extremely helpful in clarifying my thinking. I particularly liked the interplay between exports/results. I need more practice, and more time with the docs. :) Jeff -- Jeffrey Horn http://www.failuretorefrain.com/jeff/ _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
