A quick related observation. Consider this Org-mode link: [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby_(%C2%AB%D0%9F%D1%96%D1%81%D0%BD%D1%8F_%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8_%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%86%D1%96%C2%BB).ogg][https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby_(«Пісня_при_колисці»).ogg]]
The LaTeX code it generates: \href{https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby_(«Пісня_при_колисці»).ogg}{\url{https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby}$_{\text{(«Пісня}_{\text{при}}_{\text{колисці»}}\text{)}}$.ogg} Or if I add a "#+OPTIONS: ^:nil" line, then LaTeX code will be the following: \href{https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby_(«Пісня_при_колисці»).ogg}{\url{https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lysenko-Lullaby}\_(«Пісня\_при\_колисці»).ogg} I.e. it wraps only part of the description of the link with \url due to the parentheses in it. 2013/7/10, Bastien <b...@gnu.org>: > Nicolas Goaziou <n.goaz...@gmail.com> writes: > >> I will have a look at it, but this is not clear to me either.
