Re: [O] formatting org-babel output

[Joe Bogner]

Eric - That is perfect. It's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
for very much!

Jay - format is a good option too.I also found the scales packages

> scales::comma(scales::dollar(55555))
[1] "$55,555"

In the end, the org-mode post solution feels more automatic and in the
right layer - since I'm using org-mode for presentation of the R
results.

Thanks again
Joe
