Hello ! Currently org-babel, when passing a table as input to a source-code-block, behaves like this: If the cell looks like a number, it will be converted to an integer or a float. Otherwise the cell-content is passed unconverted as a string. Now, dealing with very large numbers (which I want to process with calc), I found this behavior annoying, because babel converts my large numbers to float, loosing precision in the process. Now my request would be, to have a switch (maybe as a header argument) which would tell babel to pass all cells as unconverted strings. I have checked the documentation and the sources and have not been able to find such a switch. with kind regards, Marc-Oliver Ihm _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
