[export] latex: texorpdfstring in heading

[Andreas Leha]

Hi all,

Background: I am always loading the hyperref package in my latex
exports.  That one complains (warns) about math in headings.  ("Token
not allowed in a PDF string")

The proposed solution in LaTeX is to use \texorpdfstring{}{}.  I've used
that successfully in the past also from org.

As it seems that stopped working as the {}{} get escaped now during
export.

So, here is my question: How do I use \texorpdfstring correctly in an
org heading?


And here is a minimal example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+latex_header: \usepackage{hyperref}

* This contains \texorpdfstring{$\prod_{k=1}^N$}{product 1toN} math
For some reason.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which exports to

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{This contains \texorpdfstring\{\$\(\prod_{\text{k=1}}^{\text{N}}\)\$\}\{product 1toN\} math}
\label{sec-1}
For some reason.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


Thanks,
Andreas

Use the @@latex:xxx@@ directive, as in

* This contains @@latex:\texorpdfstring{$\prod_{k=1}^N$}{product 1toN}@@ math

That should have occurred to me as well.  Ähem.

Thank you very much for the quick answer!

Thank you very much!  That should have been obvious to me as well...

(It seems that you sent your reply even earlier than Nicolas --
unfortunately I only just saw it now appearing on the list)

Thanks,

Yes: I process most of my emails while commuting and offline and my
emails only get sent once I connect again...  My emails therefore
sometimes cross others in the æther!

Anyway, glad you got this working to your satisfaction.

There is now the obvious follow-up question: What do I do if I want to
export that same document to other backends as well?

I assume I'd have to list each of the others individually as well like:
@@latex:foo@@ @@html:bar@@ @@ascii:bar@@ @@odt:bar@@ ?

Or is there some functionality @@latex:foo@else@bar@@ or @@non-latex:bar@@?


Thanks,
Andreas

You could use a macro if it's only for one document, see
(info "(org) Macro replacement").

Otherwise you could use a custom link and cond through your backends
backends, see `org-add-link-type' or
(info "(org) Adding hyperlink types").

Hope it helps,

E.g, something like

  #+MACRO: latex-or-not (eval (if (org-export-derived-backend-p org-export-current-backend 'latex) "$1" "$2"))

  {{{latex-or-not(latex code,something else)}}}
