I found this by trying to export Bernt Hansen's org-mode tutorial [1] to HTML and LaTeX. Bernt's IRC nick is Thumper_ and it appears in the AUTHOR option as follows:
#+AUTHOR: Bernt Hansen (IRC:Thumper_ on freenode) When exported to HTML, everything is fine. When exported to LaTeX, LaTeX complains about missing $. The problem does *not* arise if the underscore is in most other places in the org file, but I found one more place where it does arise: in a headline, when the underscore begins the word. Here is a small test file (hi, Sébastien;-) : --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- #+AUTHOR: Nick (nick_) #+OPTIONS: ^:{} * foo foo_bar foo_ _bar foo foo_bar foo_ _bar --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- Everything works except the nick_ on the AUTHOR line and the _bar in the headline. BTW, I also tried the ^:nil option, but it did not make any difference. Thanks, Nick [1] http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html - the org file is at http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.org _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
