Problem with latex and footnotes

Problem with latex and footnotes

[Rafael Calsaverini]

Hi. I'm noticed a problem with latex equations and footnotes. I'm not
sure, but I believe it started after I downloaded the newest version
of org-mode.

When I try to export a $...$ block that is inside a footnote, the
latex file end up with \$...\$ instead of $...$. As an example, this:

#+LaTeX_CLASS: article

* test
  This is just a test [fn:test].

[fn:test] This is an equation: $x = y$.


Gets exported into this (just the relevant section):

\section{test}
\label{sec-1}

  This is just a test \footnote{This is an equation: \$x = y\$. }.

Is there a way around it?

Thanks in advance.

This works:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+LaTeX_CLASS: article

* test
  This is just a test [fn:test].

[fn:test] This is an equation: \(x = y\).
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It is generally a good idea (and not just in org-mode) to avoid $...$
and $$...$$ for math. The recommended way is \(...\) for inline equations
and \[...\] for diplayed math.
