bug in LaTeX exporter (org-mode 6.07)

[peter.frings]

Hi all,

It seems that the LaTeX exporter doe not escape the ampersand  
character and braces when inside a table.


Exporting this:
=== org-mode snippet ====
* Example
This is an ampersand: &, and these are curly braces {}.

| Below is an ampersand | and the same curly braces |
| &                     | { and }                   |
=========================

Results in:
==== Exported LaTeX =====

Unrelated: what trick/mode/command do you guys use to make those nice  
snippets like:
,---[xxx]
| blah
| blah
`---

Cheers,
Peter.

How about a yasnippet box:



       ,------------------------.
       ! A box from a yasnippet |
       `------------------------´

The snippet file:

 >>> --->8-------------------------->8-------------------------->8---
#name : ! box |
# --
       ,${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\-)}--.
       ! ${1:SubTitle} |
       \`${1:$(make-string (string-width text) ?\-)}--´
$0
<<< ---8<--------------------------8<--------------------------8<---


Setup yasnippets! It's the best package I found since Org-mode.

After loading the snippet above, you just type

box

and hit TAB. The box grows as you type. After TAB point is automatically
at ${1:SubTitle} (where SubTitle is the default text, that is
overwritten if you decide to type somthing. There could be $2, $3 etc.
to TAB to more than one place in the snippet (S-TAB backwards).
$0 is where point should go after the last TAB, that exits the snippet.


Homepage: http://code.google.com/p/yasnippet/

Demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOj7btx3ATg


You can even easily define, which editing mode inherits from which,
simply by changing the directory structure.


WOWWWW. Fast, simple, productive!!!
