The problem is that I don't want blocks to be evaluated on export (too time consuming in many cases). So I turn that off, and either evaluate the blocks one at a time (I'm aware of the dangers of this, not my point here) or call org-babel-execute-buffer. Everytime I do that I get duplicate output from inline code. As far as I can see inline code + org-babel-execute-buffer is incompatible, which is why I gave up on the former. Best, Ista
