14.8.2.19 ‘:colnames’
.....................
The ‘:colnames’ header argument accepts the values ‘yes’, ‘no’, or ‘nil’
for unassigned. The default value is ‘nil’. Note that the behavior of
the ‘:colnames’ header argument may differ across languages.
• ‘nil’ If an input table looks like it has column names (because its
second row is an hline), then the column names will be removed from
the table before processing, then reapplied to the results.
#+NAME: less-cols
| a |
|---|
| b |
| c |
#+NAME: echo-table-again
#+BEGIN_SRC python :var tab=less-cols
return [[val + '*' for val in row] for row in tab]
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS: echo-table-again
| a |
|----|
| b* |
| c* |
Please note that column names are not removed before the table is
indexed using variable indexing Indexable variable values
var.
• ‘no’ No column name pre-processing takes place
• ‘yes’ Column names are removed and reapplied as with ‘nil’ even if
the table does not “look like” it has column names (i.e., the
second row is not an hline)
