Hi,
I'm running into a similar issue as I once did before:
- http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/50452
When I'm writing a paragraph and have a dollar currency amount, Org's
footnote functionality (e.g. =C-x f=) does not work in the region.
The suggestion was to remove "$" from org-format-latex-options.
I've not customized a variable with many "sub-options." Can someone
give me an example of how to directly customize just the :matchers
portion of that variable in .emacs? I prefer to set options directly
vs. having a jumbled list of customizations in custom-set-variables.
I searched around and found this:
- http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11272236/how-to-make-formule-bigger-in-org-mode-of-emacs
It gives instructions on setting the :scale portion, which I tried to
adapt to :matchers like this:
(setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options
:matchers ("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")))
As well as this:
(setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options
:matchers "("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")"))
Both of those aren't parsing correctly. Sorry for my elisp munging ignorance!
Thanks!
John

Hi John,
don't be afraid of property lists - they are just ordinary
lists with alternating keys and values.
(setq org-format-latex-options
'(:foreground default
:background default
:scale 1.0
:html-foreground "Black"
:html-background "Transparent"
:html-scale 1.0
:matchers ("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")))

After sending the email, I remembered my typical hack of doing this
and set the value using `M-x customize-variable`, then examining what
it saved to .emacs. The above is, indeed, what it was. How might one
set it via the single property method in the StackOverflow post? I can
certainly do the above, though I only want to customize :matchers, so
perhaps it's a bit unnecessary?
I can't imagine the above biting me, but I could see that someone
might want to just target one property in the event that, say, they
want to override one of the above at buffer level and that somehow
conflicts with the whole set of properties existing in .emacs (just
brainstorming...)?
Thanks,
John

Or, if you want to do it like this:
(setq org-format-latex-options
(plist-put org-format-latex-options
:matchers '("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")))
Quoting a list is done with a single ' before the opening parenthesis.
Not by enclosing it in "...".

Fantastic and exactly what I was looking for! I realize I'm pretty
horrible at following through on my Worg aspirations... but perhaps I
can file this and some other things like this to help others with
customization of variables. Some of these syntax things seem to appear
with reasonable frequency and cause us non-elispers definite
confusion. I could see a page on setting .emacs options as helpful.
Come to think of it, I probably should have googled for more general
Emacs customization information.
Anyway, many thanks for the quick response and assistance!
