This is how I understand it. Because an R data.frame looks like a table, the babel default is to represent it as a table in the results. However, Babel interprets the single-cell table as a scalar. #+begin_src R :results value ret <- data.frame("scalar") #+end_src #+results: : scalar #+begin_src R :results value table ret <- data.frame("table") #+end_src #+results: | table | hth, Tom -- Thomas S.
