Good to know. It is high on my wishlist. I often take notes about shell and utilities and just a few days ago I planned to improve by using, well, babel source blocks. Now I know that I have to use some workaround. What about :var dummy_name? #+NAME: unicode_normal_form_c #+HEADER: :var dummy_name="workaround to get different result blocks" #+BEGIN_SRC sh :shebang #!/bin/sh :eval no :exports code printf 'a\xcc\x88' | od -Ax -tx1 printf 'a\xcc\x88' | iconv -f UTF-8-MAC -t UTF-8 | od -Ax -tx1 printf 'a\xcc\x88' | iconv -f UTF-8-MAC -t UTF-8 2>&1 > /dev/null echo "(`uname`, `date +%Y-%m-%d`)" #+END_SRC - OS X (implementation of iconv by Apple, not e. g. MacPorts): #+CALL: unicode_normal_form_c[:results output verbatim :eval no-export :exports results](dummy_name="osx") #+RESULTS: unicode_normal_form_c[:results output verbatim :eval no-export :exports results](dummy_name="osx") : 0000000 61 cc 88 : 0000003 : 0000000 c3 a4 : 0000002 : (Darwin, 2013-06-14) - GNU/Linux: #+CALL: unicode_normal_form_c[:results output verbatim :eval no-export :exports results](dummy_name="gnu") #+RESULTS: unicode_normal_form_c[:results output verbatim :eval no-export :exports results](dummy_name="gnu") : 000000 61 cc 88 : 000003 : 000000 : iconv: conversion from `UTF-8-MAC' is not supported : Try `iconv --help' or `iconv --usage' for more information. : (Linux, 2013-06-14) Is there a better workaround or would you accept :var dummy_name for my ERT that I mentioned? And how can I break the long lines #+CALL into multiple lines staying near their individual #+CALL line, when moving header arguments into #+BEGIN_SRC and its #+HEADERs is not possible for cases where variety in the values of header arguments between calls or between call and #+BEGIN_SRC is necessary?
