Re: LaTeX export, problem with quotes

[tsd@tsdye.com (Thomas S. Dye)]

Aloha Nicolas,

Ah, I see what's happening now. I've set up asynchronous export to use
the Org mode that ships with Emacs, rather than the one from the git
repo. Of course, that doesn't track your changes.

In this case, where many potential users of my reproducible research
document aren't using the latest Org mode, a file-specific
org-entities-user entry looks like the best solution.

Thanks for your patience as I puzzled this out online.

All the best,
Tom
