Hi,
This file:
Math mode: a\(^{b}\)
Non-math mode: a^{b}
What I'd like: a\textsuperscript{b}
Is exported to this LaTeX code:
Math mode: a\(^{b}\)
Non-math mode: a\(^{\text{b}}\)
What I'd like: a\textsuperscript{b}
When viewing a PDF from that LaTeX source, the first (Math mode) appears
correct. The second (non-math) appears correct in the PDF, but I'm not sure it
is in the LaTeX source. The third looks correct.
A more severe end-product appearance issue comes downstream. I find Pandoc
generates better ODT and DOCX files than Org when the inputs are complicated.
When viewing a DOCX generated from the above LaTeX with:
$ pandoc -f LaTeX -i foo.tex -t DOCX -o foo.docx foo.tex
there is a more serious issue: The b power is not attached to the a, so there
is an empty box and it looks like this (where ^b is actually raised as a
superscript): a[]^b. Or see attached screenshot.
I've tried toggling #+OPTIONS ^:{} and ^:nil but it doesn't solve this. It
seems to me like a^b should export as a\textsuperscript{b}. Do others agree? Or
is this a pandoc bug I should be raising in that project?
Thanks,
-k.
