latex-export + columnview: misinterpretation of section prefixes as emphasis

latex-export + columnview: misinterpretation of section prefixes as emphasis

[Juan Pechiar]

Hi!

The test file below contains a columnview table showing section
headers.

Export to HTML works OK: the asterisks inside the table are
transformed into indentation.

Export to LaTeX: asterisk pairs are interpreted as emphasis, resulting
in an incorrect renering of asterisks and bold asterisks.

Following the code, I got lost at org-export-latex-fontify.

I will keep searching for what is happening, but any guidance will be
appreciated.

Thanks!

.j.


Test file:
========================================
#+COLUMNS: %25ITEM

* There comes the table

#+BEGIN: columnview :vlines 1 :id global
|   | ITEM                    |
|---+-------------------------|
|   | * There comes the table |
|   | * first                 |
|   | ** second               |
|   | *** third               |
|   | *** other third         |
|   | **** fourth             |
|   | ** other second         |
| / | <>                      |
#+END:

* first
** second
*** third
*** other third
**** fourth
** other second
========================================

LaTeX output:
========================================
\begin{tabular}{l}
 ITEM                     \\
\hline
 * There comes the table  \\
 * first                  \\
 ** second                \\
 *** third                \\
 \textbf{*} other third   \\
 \textbf{**} fourth       \\
 ** other second          \\
\end{tabular}
========================================

And the PDF display reads:
========================================
ITEM
* There comes the table
first
* second
** third
* other third
** fourth
* other second
========================================

Thanks Juan.

That's an interesting idea.  I can't think of a way to do something  
equivalent, though others on the list might offer some possibilities.

All the best,
Tom

I have fixed at least part of the problem, so the stars will no longer  
be
interpreted as emphasis.

However, I am still getting strange results.  FOrmatting a latex file
with this:

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
  ITEM                     \\
\hline
* There comes the table  \\
* first                  \\
** second                \\
*** third                \\
*** other third          \\
**** fourth              \\
** other second          \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

somehow swallows some of the stars, but seemingly random.
For example, the star before "There" remains, but the star
before "first" disappears.

This must be some strange LaTeX thing - does anyone
understand what is going on here?

This is indeed a LaTeX thing.  The newline sequence (\\) has more than
one signature
 - \\ :: simple newline
 - \\[additionalSpace] :: newline with additionalSpace
 - \\*[additionalSpace] :: same as above but will not break a page  
After the \\ sequence, LaTeX looks for a [ or a * in case the optional
argument exists.  In the example above the star is found as _part of a
command sequence_ and is therefore not available as something to
typeset.  

One solution in this situation is to put an empty group before the
stars: 
   \begin{center}
   \begin{tabular}{l}
    ITEM                     \\
   \hline
   {}* There comes the table  \\
   {}* first                  \\
   {}** second                \\
   {}*** third                \\
   {}*** other third          \\
   {}**** fourth              \\
   {}** other second          \\
   \end{tabular}
   \end{center}

I will think on other possible options.  I hope this helps.

Well, it certainly helps!  Thanks a lot. At least I understand
now what is going on.  I guess one solution would be to add an empty  
column into the Org table and export this as an empty column.   
Whatever we do, it will be a hack.

I have not found a hack-free solution yet.  Here are some other things I've tried that would be less hackish, but have all failed:
 - Replace \\ with \tabularnewline :: Same behavior as with \\
 - Replace \\ with \\{} :: Extra horizontal space before the *
 - Replace \\ with \tabularnewline{} :: Same behavior as \\{}

I just now tried another solution that does work, but may still be considered a hack.  In short, use the optional argument explicitly:
 - Replace \\ with \\[0pt] :: This has the expected behavior for the * and for the spacing

Re: latex-export + columnview: misinterpretation of section prefixes as emphasis

[Lele Gaifax]

Hi all,

I know this is an ancient thread, but it seems the problem is still there, in
Emacs 25.

FWIW, this is my quick and dirty fix, that at least produce a readable output,
in Emacs as well as in the PDF output.

    (require 'org-colview)

    ;; Quick&dirty workaround to http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/25821: replace
    ;; asterisks with some other character in the table automatically built by org-colview, because
    ;; when the table is exported to LaTeX they are misinterpreted as emphasis markup, resulting in
    ;; an unreadable hierarchy.

    (defun esk/org-replace-section-prefix (s)
      "Replace asterisks in  Org heading with em-dashes."
      (when (string-match org-outline-regexp-bol s)
        (setq s (replace-match
                 (concat (make-string (- (match-end 0) (match-beginning 0) 1) ?—)
                         " ")
                 t t s)))
      s)

    (defun org-listtable-to-string (tbl)
      "Convert a listtable TBL to a string that contains the Org-mode table.
    The table still need to be aligned.  The resulting string has no leading
    and trailing newline characters."
      (mapconcat
       (lambda (x)
         (cond
          ((listp x)
           (concat "|" (esk/org-replace-section-prefix (mapconcat 'identity x "|")) "|"))
          ((eq x 'hline) "|-|")
          (t (error "Garbage in listtable: %s" x))))
       tbl "\n"))

Of course I'll be happy to hear about any better way to do it!

ciao, lele.

"org-colview" was rewritten recently. IIRC, this is fixed in development
version of Org.

Great, thank you!

Do you know if/when it will be merged into Emacs? I will probably try it out
on my own machine, but I guess a few coworkers won't be going to install it
from upstream repos...

I don't know, but that will not happen before Emacs 25.1 release.

Thanks anyway, I installed latest development sources and I appreciate the
work that has been done in this (and many other) areas: the new colview
produces a much nicer LaTeX!

One minor issue: previously I used a custom setting for the variable
`org-time-clocksum-format`, to print something like "2gg 03:10" instead of "2d
03:10". With the version currently distributed with Emacs 25.1 it was used for
both the "effort" and "clocksum" columns, now only on the latter (matching
name and documentation). Is there an equivalent setting for the "effort"
sum, to get a table with the two columns sharing the same style? I tried to
look around in the sources and in the doc but I missed it...

BTW, in lisp/org-colview.el there is what seems a typo in the name of the
function `org-columns-hscoll-title`: since accordingly with "git grep" it is
referenced in two places and only in that source, is the following acceptable?

I don't think so, but I may be wrong. Anyway, you can define your own
summary function (and formatter) in Org colums. See
`org-columns-summary-types' for details.

Sure. Could you provide a proper commit message and send the patch using
"git format-patch" command? See
<http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.html#patches> for details.

Thank you.

All your "Effort" values are expressed as HH:MM so Org does its best to
produce a HH:MM summary. If you write at least one value as a duration,
e.g., "10 h", the summary will also be expressed as a duration.

I see you didn't add TINYCHANGE at the end of the commit message.
I assume you have signed FSF papers already. Am I correct?

No problem. I just wanted to be sure.
