If you use C-x 8 SPC in a text file, you probably want to export it as ~ in LaTeX, not to include that Unicode character directly. But this conversion is a strange one, therefore it may be besser to offer a syntax for the ~ (non-breaking space) in LaTeX. For instance \~ or ~ > > Is it better to enter the unicode character directly, or offering > > something like \~ ? > > For me \~ would rather mean "don't convert ~", which means: output "~" > (at least in LaTeX, since the normal LaTeX conversion for ~ is \~) > But we said that if someone writes ~ in an org-file, then it is expected that ~ appears at the result. Therefore: ~ is for the sign ~ other sign (maybe \~ ) is for the non-breaking space I know this behaviour it's not the same as LaTeX, but I don't think it's a problem.
