Re: [Orgmode] property constants in elisp formulas

I believe you can, yes.  Why don;y you just try and watch the effect
by turning on formula debugging?

BTW, 5.13d omits the parenthesis in Lisp formula interpolation...

Now, just as a stupid question, if I put a lisp expression into a
property, can I use it in a formula?

==========================

Also, in the above example, the property values were aligned for me.
In my previous example, that didn't happen.  It seems that the
alignment code does like underscores in names

===== sample ======
* top
  :PROPERTIES:
  :fives:    0  8  16
  :d_5: 0
  :fours:    2  18 58
  :END:

=================

Lastly, since I'm whining, there's a bug in the formula editor that
I'm not sure if I've mentioned before.  Edit the table below with C-c
'.  The '(@-I$2..$2) will become '(@-I$2..B&) which causes #ERRORs.

You are right, there should be no parenthesis in Lisp interpolation.
Will be fixed in 5.14.

====================

Specifically, is there a better way to get at a property constant with
an elisp formula?  It seems the value is automatically put in parens
such that $h_3 is (11) which is a little awkward. On the other hand,
maybe I can use that to store a list in a property.
