create a new empty org-mode file containing this text * test $\text{asdf}$
export to latex, build pdf from tex error ERROR: Undefined control sequence. --- TeX said --- <recently read> \text l.38 $\text {asdf}$ --- HELP --- TeX encountered an unknown command name. You probably misspelled the name. If this message occurs when a LaTeX command is being processed, the command is probably in the wrong place---for example, the error can be produced by an \item command that's not inside a list-making environment. The error can also be caused by a missing \documentclass command. This is a bug?
