The results header argument

The :results header argument takes four classes of values:

Class Value Results Note
handling none discarded  
handling silent in echo area  
handling replace in Org file default
handling append in Org file after old  
handling prepend in Org file before old  
collection value as value default
collection output as standard output  
type verbatim as text  
type table as table  
type list as list  
type file in file see :file, :file-ext, :file-desc, :file-mode
type vector same as table  
type scalar same as verbatim  
format code as code  
format pp as code, pretty-printed  
format org as code, Org markup  
format graphics as image often combined with file
format link as resource see file type
format raw raw Org
format drawer raw Org a drawer  
format html raw HTML  
format latex raw LaTeX  
format graphics same as link  

† For non-block elements, raw implies append because the end of output is impossible to recognize reliably. To avoid appending, add :wrap raw.
