How to suppress latex exporting as a list if a name that begins with a single letter

How to suppress latex exporting as a list if a name that begins with a single letter

[Charles Millar]

For example

A. Persons Name is exported as

1. Persons Name

not

A. Persons Name.

You must have set org-list-allow-alphabetical to non-nil... maybe turn
this off?

You are correct. I did that soooo.. long ago I forgot.

I read the documentation and I suppose that there is no way to set that 
variable on a per file basis. Correct?

Could a header argument be implemented to override this?

You could use emacs file variables for this, along the lines of

# -*- org-set-list-allow-alphabetical: nil; -*-

at the top of the file or a local variables list at the end (see Emacs
info manual for more information).

What about marking as verbatim?
=A. Person=

I will give this a try later on.

For the moment, as Eric suggested, I have reset 
org-list-allow-alphabetical to nil.

Thanks.
