Perhaps the confusion comes from the fact that the syntax for #+call lines differs from inline evaluation? Inline evaluation requires [] for the end header argument, but [] aren't used for the end header argument of #+call lines. I agree that this difference isn't easy to spot among all the ([<>]). Perhaps a sentence pointing out the difference would be useful? All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
