I'm trying to export a simple table to latex with the only catch being it has some units I need to superscript. Here is the org code ---------------------------------------------------------------------- #+Options: num:nil toc:nil
* section heading Objective Temporal scale Spatial Scale (km) Requirement ------------+-----------------+--------------------------+-------------+--- Vegetation Weekly (target) 200–1000 0.3gC m^{-2} d^{-1} Land surface Annual 2000 5/25 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} Ocean fluxes Annual 2500 3 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} Anthropogenic Annual 300 4 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} | Objective | Temporal scale | Spatial Scale (km) | Requirement | |------------+-----------------+--------------------------+-------------+---| | Vegetation | Weekly (target) | 200–1000 |0.3gC m^{-2} d^{-1} |Land surface |Annual |2000 |5/25 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} |Ocean fluxes |Annual |2500 |3 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} |Anthropogenic |Annual |300 |4 g C m^{-2} yr^{-1} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It has the text of the table with the pipe characters removed then the table itself. Here is the latex it generates ---------------------------------------------------------------------- % Created 2012-09-06 Thu 22:27 \documentclass[11pt]{article} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{fixltx2e} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{longtable} \usepackage{float} \usepackage{wrapfig} \usepackage{soul} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage{marvosym} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{latexsym} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{hyperref} \tolerance=1000 \providecommand{\alert}[1]{\textbf{#1}} \title{test} \author{Peter Rayner} \date{\today} \hypersetup{ pdfkeywords={}, pdfsubject={}, pdfcreator={Emacs Org-mode version N/A}} \begin{document} \maketitle \section*{section heading} \label{sec-1} CO$_2$ CO$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ 0.3gC m$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ y$^{\mathrm{-1}}$ Objective Temporal scale Spatial Scale (km) Requirement ------------+-----------------+--------------------------+-------------+--- Vegetation Weekly (target) 200–1000 0.3gC m$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ d$^{\mathrm{-1}}$ Land surface Annual 2000 5/25 g C m$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ yr$^{\mathrm{-1}}$ Ocean fluxes Annual 2500 3 g C m$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ yr$^{\mathrm{-1}}$ Anthropogenic Annual 300 4 g C m$^{\mathrm{-2}}$ yr$^{\mathrm{-1}}$ \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{llrl} Objective & Temporal scale & Spatial Scale (km) & Requirement \\ \hline Vegetation & Weekly (target) & 200–1000 & 0.3gC m^\{-2\} d^\{-1\} \\ Land surface & Annual & 2000 & 5/25 g C m^\{-2\} yr^\{-1\} \\ Ocean fluxes & Annual & 2500 & 3 g C m^\{-2\} yr^\{-1\} \\ Anthropogenic & Annual & 300 & 4 g C m^\{-2\} yr^\{-1\} \\ \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{document} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the untabulated text the ^{-2} is being replaced with math delimiters while in the tabulated version the braces are being quoted. This doesn't seem to happen when I export to html where both versions get superscripted. This could be a bug but it's more likely something I'm misunderstanding, can someone enlighten me? please reply directly as well as to the list, I'm behind on my mailing list browsing. thanks in advance Peter -- Peter Rayner room 343 School of Earth Sciences, University of Melbourne, 3010, Vic, Australia tel: work: +61 (0)3 8344 9708; fax: +61 (0)3 8344 7761 mobile +61 402 752 379, skype: petermorag mail-to: pray...@unimelb.edu.au and CLIMMOD ENGINEERING http://www.climmod.com mail-to: peter.ray...@climmod.com
