Export of superscripts in LaTeX (e.g. ^1)

Export of superscripts in LaTeX (e.g. ^1)

[John Hendy]

Sometimes I'll insert a note in LaTeX to /sort of/ treat it like a
footnote, but in a table. Then I'll just put the notes in an itemized
list under the table like this:

#+begin_src org

| something^{1} |

*Notes*
- ^1 this is a note about something

#+end_src

I'm copying/pasting from a previous Org document, so I know this used
to work. Now, instead of a superscripted 1, it exports as 1 with a
"hat" (accented one with tiny caret above the 1).

I noticed the same for the ~ symbol. That used to just be an ugly
looking tilde. Now it's an accent.

There's surely variables to customize, but I wanted to report in case
we want this as the Org-mode default.


Thanks,
John

This is a bit unrelated, but LaTeX back-end has support for footnotes
within tables.

Ha! That's great. I guess I'm too used to the old exporter. In this
case, I'd just like some way to quickly check between a table item and
the list below it, so I'm not sure I'm looking for footnotes, exactly.
Honestly, probably just using test^{1} in the table and then a list
of:

1) explanation

Would work. Just being picky since ^{1}, after all, /was/ the text
used to make the reader aware of a note... Something is definitely
different in function as even ~ results in accented text, but I'm not
sure what.


Thanks,
John

Indeed, and not just in latex (tested html).

To take a slightly less strange example:

  Revelle and Suess examined ^{14}C ratios in the ocean and atmosphere
  to find how quickly carbon was exchanged between them.

I seem to remember this used to work, too.
