Re: Problem using bracket with the LaTeX backend

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Günter,

nice catch, but I actually like the old way better!  It is a
good way to specify the bullet if you like.  Org-mode does
intentionally remove that white space.

Now, I agree that this is inconsistent with the other backends, but
I do still like this possibility.

Why do you need [A] there?  Maybe

1. =[A]= foo bar...

would even be better, depending on what the [A] is supposed to mean?
