From 23d8d59df80a25f36dc35aa94b397ce2b0a75ae0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ihor Radchenko Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2021 11:14:59 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] ob-gnuplot: Use org backend when assigning table to variable * lisp/ob-gnuplot.el (org-babel-gnuplot-table-to-data): Switch to 'org backend when exporting table data to plain text table. ascii backend incorrectly handles quote transcoders that change the column width and sometimes throws an error. (ascii backend simply ignores transcoded table cells and calculates width based on the initial cell text). --- lisp/ob-gnuplot.el | 20 +++++++++++++++----- 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/lisp/ob-gnuplot.el b/lisp/ob-gnuplot.el index 8c4a5957b..b72126ae5 100644 --- a/lisp/ob-gnuplot.el +++ b/lisp/ob-gnuplot.el @@ -287,11 +287,21 @@ Pass PARAMS through to `orgtbl-to-generic' when exporting TABLE."
