Re: [O] Adding xmpfilter as a results type

[Eric Schulte]

Hi Avdi,

Good idea!  This was easy to implement (the hardest part was installing
rcodetools).  The current Org-mode git head now supports a new result
type "xmp" which behaves as follows...

  #+begin_src ruby :results xmp code
    2 + 2 # =>
    3.times{ puts :hello }
  #+end_src

  #+results:
  #+BEGIN_SRC ruby
  2 + 2 # => 4
  3.times{ puts :hello }
  # >> hello
  # >> hello
  # >> hello
  #+END_SRC

Cheers -- Eric
