You can download a tarball of the latest version via cgit on the Org-side. I think there's even a link on the front page. For a set of instructions different from the official documentation see for instance this PKGBUILD https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/em/emacs-org-mode-git/PKGBUILD Also, check org-version. Mine says: Org-mode version 8.0.3 (release_8.0.3-183-gca9937 @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/) > The reason I want to try 8 is that the instructions here: > > http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.html > > about including output from R in ORG format to make nice HTML tables is not > working. I get a "BEGIN_SRC org" instead of "BEGIN_ORG" or something. I > thought it would be best to trouble-shoot this using the latest Org. > </rant> BEGIN_SRC org would seem OK, no? My emacs -q won't even recognize BEGIN_ORG. . . I think it's an old syntax, but I could be wrong. Here's an example for doing an R table. #+NAME: R-tbl #+BEGIN_SRC R :exports results :rownames yes :colnames yes a <- runif(100) c <- "Quantiles of 100 random numbers" b <- data.frame(quantile(a)) colnames(b) <- "my quantiles" round(b,3) #+END_SRC Click C-c C-c on the code and you will get table [[tbl]]. #+NAME: tbl #+CAPTION: my table #+RESULTS: R-tbl | | my quantiles | |------+--------------| | 0% | 0.017 | | 25% | 0.196 | | 50% | 0.378 | | 75% | 0.659 | | 100% | 0.988 | Which outputs this html that looks like this. http://image.bayimg.com/8e90d3d4ab568959c791011dab7064b222a47003.jpg Finding an option to add numbers to your table captions is left to you. Oh, and feel free to update the Worg side given your new-gained knowledge. –Rasmus -- There are known knowns; there are things we know that we know.
