using subscripts in table captions

using subscripts in table captions

[Johannes Rainer]

dear all!

I have a strange problem now with org-mode (I don't know whether I had that with previous org-versions because I never paid attention): 
any _ I have in a caption is automatically formatted as a subscript, independently of using #+OPTIONS: ^:nil or #+OPTIONS: ^:{}.
Is there any other way I can force org-mode to export captions "as-is"? For plain text it works nicely, but not for caption (and export to latex or html).

The test org-file I used contains the following:
--------


#+TITLE:TestTest
#+OPTIONS: ^:nil
-----


* Test tables

just in plain text: bla_blu, bla\_blu; both works nicely.

#+CAPTION: Some bla bla and an underscore: bla_blu. The same escaped: bla\_blu. Doesn't work for either of them; blu is always used as subscript.
|    | agegp |     alcgp |    tobgp | ncases | ncontrols |
|----+-------+-----------+----------+--------+-----------|
|  1 | 25-34 | 0-39g/day | 0-9g/day |   0.00 |     40.00 |
|  2 | 25-34 | 0-39g/day |    10-19 |   0.00 |     10.00 |
|  3 | 25-34 | 0-39g/day |    20-29 |   0.00 |      6.00 |


-------

The _ in the plain text are exported as expected, but not the caption.

I'm using org-mode 8.3.1 (release_8.3.1-166-g5bfdfc)

any suggestions?

Using your example file, I get the following.  I guess that confirms
your bug.  I'm using release_8.3.1-129-g526927.

Hope this helps,


\section{Test tables}
\label{sec:orgheadline1}

just in plain text: bla\_blu, bla$\backslash$\_blu; both works nicely.

\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{Some bla bla and an underscore: bla\(_{\text{blu}}\). The same escaped: bla$\backslash$\(_{\text{blu}}\). Doesn't work for either of them; blu is always used as subscript.}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{rrlrrr}
 & agegp & alcgp & tobgp & ncases & ncontrols\\
\hline
1 & 25-34 & 0-39g/day & 0-9g/day & 0.00 & 40.00\\
2 & 25-34 & 0-39g/day & 10-19 & 0.00 & 10.00\\
3 & 25-34 & 0-39g/day & 20-29 & 0.00 & 6.00\\
\end{tabular}
\end{table}

well, kind of helps. At least I know it's reproducible... although I would like to have that fixed somehow.
