Superscripts in LaTeX export

Superscripts in LaTeX export

[Thomas S. Dye]

Aloha all,

I'm trying to generate $^{14}$C, or an equivalent, from org-mode to  
represent the isotope of carbon important in archaeological dating.

Reading the manual, I tried this:

** A Brief History of Attempts to Interpret the ^{14}C Dates
*** The ^{14}C Dates

Which, in my #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer export, yields

\subsection{A Brief History of Attempts to Interpret the \^{}{14}C  
Dates}
...
\begin{frame}\frametitle{The \^{}{14}C Dates}

The problem seems to be the space before the ^.

This input:

** A Brief History of Attempts to Interpret the x^{14}C Dates
*** The x^{14}C Dates

yields the correct LaTeX:

\subsection{A Brief History of Attempts to Interpret the x 
$^{\mathrm{14}}$C Dates}
...
\begin{frame}\frametitle{The x$^{\mathrm{14}}$C Dates}

Am I missing something?  Or, is the LaTeX export thrown off by the  
space before ^?

All the best,
Tom

what about using the \( \) or $ $ delimiters?:

** A Brief History of Attempts to Interpret the 
\( ^{14}\)C Dates
*** The \(^{14}\)C Dates
*** or
*** The $^{14}$C Dates with dollar

That's the first thing I thought of and tried: it didn't work for me.

Did it work for you or are you saying that theoretically it *should* work?
It's not clear from your message whether you actually tried it out.

Thanks,
Nick

PS. I also tried the standard trick: {}^{14}C. It didn't work either.
The LaTeX code generated precedes all the special characters with
backslashes.

I didn't try. I thought it should have worked.

So it should be something  concerning the export 
of the heading.

Hi Thomas, Giovanni, Nick,

indeed, LaTeX export was thrown off by the space before the cared.
THis i fixed now, thanks.

Aloha Carsten, Giovanni, and Nick,

It seems like magic to me, but now my org file correctly exports  
^{14}C to LaTeX.  The viewers of my beamer slide show will immediately  
recognize the radioactive isotope of carbon in the frame's title.   
They will have this pleasure with little effort on my part because org- 
mode is substantially reducing the amount of time it takes me to put  
the slides together.

Many thanks,
Tom
