Underscores again - HTML and LaTeX exporting.

Underscores again - HTML and LaTeX exporting.

[Nick Dokos]

I found this by trying to export Bernt Hansen's org-mode tutorial [1] to
HTML and LaTeX. Bernt's IRC nick is Thumper_ and it appears in the
AUTHOR option as follows:

#+AUTHOR: Bernt Hansen (IRC:Thumper_ on freenode)

When exported to HTML, everything is fine. When exported to LaTeX, LaTeX
complains about missing $. The problem does *not* arise if the underscore
is in most other places in the org file, but I found one more place where it
does arise: in a headline, when the underscore begins the word.

Here is a small test file (hi, Sébastien;-) :

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+AUTHOR: Nick (nick_)
#+OPTIONS: ^:{}


* foo foo_bar foo_ _bar
  foo
  foo_bar
  foo_
  _bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Everything works except the nick_ on the AUTHOR line and the _bar in
the headline.

BTW, I also tried the ^:nil option, but it did not make any difference.

Thanks,
Nick

Seems part of it happens in a loop with a wrong counter?


This works for the `foo_ _bar' part of it:



* foo foo_bar foo_     _bar
  foo
  foo_bar
  foo_
  _bar

Right you are - thanks for testing and finding that!

My suspicion is a not-quire-right regexp in this case (I suspect the
AUTHOR line, as well as other such export options lines, is not
processed at all). But I haven't gone looking yet.

Thanks,
Nick

Pretty sick examples ... :-)

I fixed those anyway...

So now we all know there is truly a AI-Carsten! :)

You can blame me for the headline one, but the AUTHOR one is all Bernt's
fault :-)

In any case, I thought you were on vacation or something: go have some
fun - oh, I forgot: this *is* fun. Or maybe, as Bastien noted, the fix
was done by one instance of a (possibly infinite) number of
AI-Carstens. Or, perhaps, the "falling off the grid" message might have
been sent by one of those instances? How can one tell? How does one
define ``eq'' for Carsten-instances? Does equality imply identity? My
head is spinning...

Cheers,
Nick
