Yes, #+results are automatically generated by execution of some code. But, if you want to start with something, not generated, you had to insert yourself a #+results block until the more logical #+data had been introduced. I like your explanation about the fact that such a manually-entered block is "constant". Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban
