Its purpose is to delimit the result block. Imagine you re-eval the code block, and that (by default, BTW) the result block must be overridden by the new value, Babel must have a way to identify what to delete first. > Can I get rid of it? The only other solutions are: - use the option =:results raw=, but you can't do any replace anymore (of old results by new results) - =(setq org-babel-min-lines-for-block-output 1)=, to force Org to put the output enclosed in a #+begin/end_example block.
