Hi,
I noticed that in org-entities these symbols are defined:
("lang" "\\langle" t "⟨" "<" "<" "⟨")
("rang" "\\rangle" t "⟩" ">" ">" "⟩")
But nothing for "langle" and "rangle". I guess it seems pretty confusing
when you try to use the latex-macros you are used to.
Maybe these aliases could also be added, like what is done for e.g. "clubs":
("langle" "\\langle" t "⟨" "<" "<" "⟨")
("rangle" "\\rangle" t "⟩" ">" ">" "⟩")
Cheers,
Anders Johansson

Indeed, done in master, thanks for this idea.

(I continue in the same thread as this is related)
org-entities has: ("slash" "/" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
A LaTeX user entering \slash would probably expect to have this exported
as \slash (which produces a breaking "/", not the same thing as just
entering "/" in LaTeX).
So it should rather be: ("slash" "\\slash" nil "/" "/" "/" "/")
Could this be changed without breaking people's documents?
Cheers,
Anders Johansson

It’s important for LaTeX users to have a way to write “/” into the
output – sometimes it might not possible to use a literal “/” in org,
because of the /emphasis/ markup.
It seems to me (as a user of both latex and html export) that most of
the time I want “/” in the output, regardless of backend. Maybe (org’s)
\slash should retain its meaning, and there should be a new entity which
obeys your proposal.
It also seems like \slash in latex has some odd properties
wrt. hyphenation:
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97310/slash-allows-for-hyphenation-of-only-the-word-on-its-left-how-to-fix-it-for-th>.
So maybe latex power users would rather write something more complicated
using the @@latex:\slash\hspace{0pt}@@ syntax.
Thanks,
