#+TITLE: (bug|feature)? report -- exporting ~verbatim~ and =code= into Latex
#+AUTHOR: me
#+EMAIL: e@ma.il
# I use latest Git (that's 1 commit ahead of 6.24c) on Emacs 22.3.1
* ~verbatim~ and =code=---inconsistency exporting to Latex and HTML
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
[a-zA-Z_]
[!#&*+-/:;<=>?]
[\t\n\r ,]
This works OK
#+END_EXAMPLE
However if I want to randomly inline any of those in a paragraph,
=[!#&*+-/:;<=>?]= they're not properly escaped =[a-zA-Z_]= for Latex
---while for HTML =[\t\n\r ,]= org-mode does the Right Thing(tm).
I also find odd that ~verbatim~'ed text is =monospaced= in Latex while
it is not in HTML.
* Another little thing---EMAIL option for Latex seems to have no effect
The +EMAIL option below is not shown in Latex---whereas I can see it in
the exported HTML. Is that a feature, a bug, or both?
* Thanks!

The reason for this is that in LaTeX, inline pieces use
\verb=[a-zA-Z_]=
If "=" is part of the string, this construct fails. Whatever character
I choose, it will fail for someone. I guess I could use the
paragraph symbol §, maybe this is the least likely one of them all?
it works in my LaTeX installation - could a few more people try this
on their systems?
does
\verb§bladibla§
work in LaTeX?

Yes, I know this, both constructs use \verb in LateX. I'd say this is
clearly good enough, though.
Is there a non-monospaced, verbatim equivalent for \verb in LaTeX?

What should it influence? The standard LaTeX header we use (maketitle)
does not list the email. You can build your own title, using
{{{email}}}
as a place holder.

Don't know if this is a good idea, but can we scan the text string and
dynamically choose a delimiter that does not appear in the string? We
need to have some delimiter candidates to choose from, and have to spend
some extra CPU cycles to scan the string, which can be assumed short??

I got the following error on my MacBook:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
--- TeX said ---
(inputenc) in inputencoding `utf8'.
See the inputenc package documentation for explanation.
Type H <return> for immediate help.

l.43 \verb.§
bladibla.§

From the .log file...
You need to provide a definition with \DeclareInputText
or \DeclareInputMath before using this key.

Yes, this is the right idea, I have implemented this, thanks.

It works, but it would just move the problem somewhere else instead of
solving it.
More flexible solutions (yet more involved) could be:
- Escape the characters ourselves (i.e. do not use \verb)
- have a stack of suitable delimiter characters (i.e. any character except
letters, * or space) and use the first one that's not in the region.
A simpler solution would be to stick to '=' and '~' as delimiters,
documenting this shortcoming when exporting to LaTeX.

Agreed.

AFAIK there isn't.

I was expecting it to generate something like this:
\author{my Name $<$\href{mailto:e@ma.il}{e@ma.il}$>$
Anyway yes, I could do it myself.
By the way, using \verb inside other commands (such as \section) is
forbidden in LaTeX; shall we include a warning in the manual, silently
ignore ~~ and == in those places, or maybe just leave as it is (It'll
break when compiling the.tex) ?

hmm I've just seen that I missed Baoqiu Cui's e-mail, because I'm not
suscribed to the list and forgot to CC myself in the first place.
Sorry for the noise,
Emilio.

This is how it works now.

I think we can just have it break when compiling TeX. We cannot
possibly document TeX in the Org manual.
