overruling subscripts in latex export

overruling subscripts in latex export

[Peter Rayner]

I'm documenting some code including lists of parameters.  These have
underscores in them which I don't want to interpret as subscripts.
According to the manual I can overrule this behaviour with an option
but it looks like I'm doing something wrong.

Here is the test file
#+OPTIONS: ^:{}
#+TITLE: test file

- p_c_in :: this is the first parameter 
- g_c_in :: and this is the second



And here is the exported latex

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}


\begin{description}
\item[p$_c$$_{\mathrm{in}}$] this is the first parameter
\item[g$_c$$_{\mathrm{in}}$] and this is the second
\end{description}

\end{document}

Note those $ signs in the \item brackets.  I would rather see
p\_c\_in  or \verb|p_c_in|

I am probably misunderstanding how to set the option, could someone
please explain?

This is with
Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.8.03.74.gd6e40f)
Thanks in advance
Peter

I get

,----
| \begin{description}
| \item[p\_{}c\_{}in] this is the first parameter
| \item[g\_{}c\_{}in] and this is the second
| \end{description}
`----

which is what's expected. It might be that you didn't update the setup
of the buffer after you added  the #+OPTIONS line (just press C-c C-c on
it). Equivalently, kill the buffer and find-file again: the option should
be active.

Assuming of course that you have a reasonably modern version of org. Mine is

Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.230.g67cb2.dirty)
	 (which includes a few local patches)

Yes, the problem was, indeed, that I had forgotten I needed to
activate the option with "C-c C-c".
Many thanks
