Re: [O] trouble exporting just one subtree while using babel and R code blocks--spoke too soon

[Christopher W. Ryan]

Well, with the little test file I initially posted, things worked OK
with org version 7.9.3f.  But things are bit more complicated:

-----------------------------------

* goodbye

foo foo

* Hello
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: TestMyBabelSetup
:EXPORT_TITLE: foobar
:EXPORT_AUTHOR: Christopher W. Ryan, MD MS
:RESULTS: output
:EXPORTS: both
:END:

** Big foo

foo

#+begin_src R
rnorm(3)
#+end_src

-----------------------------------

Put cursor on
* Hello
above and then C-c C-e 1 d
The resulting pdf file does not show the results of the R code, only the
verbatim code itself.

Remove the line
** Big foo

Then put cursor on * Hello above and then C-c C-e 1 d
org/babel then asks if I want to execute the R code. Answer yes.
A pdf file will open showing the R code and the results.

I don't understand.
