I'm trying to export a simple table to latex with the only catch being
it has some units I need to superscript.
Here is the org code

It has the text of the table with the pipe characters removed then the
table itself.
Here is the latex it generates

In the untabulated text the ^{-2} is being replaced with math
delimiters while in the tabulated version the braces are being quoted. 
This doesn't seem to happen when I export to html where both versions
get superscripted. This could be a bug but it's more likely something
I'm misunderstanding, can someone enlighten me?
please reply directly as well as to the list, I'm behind on my mailing

thanks in advance

The standard latex exporter does indeed mishandle this, but unless it is
a very easy fix, it's unlikely to be fixed: the exporter is on its way
out.

If you can, please use Nicolas Goaziou's new exporter: it handles the
situation correctly.

Assuming you are running a recent version of org, you can install it
alongside the old one. Just add the following to your init file (with
the path modified appropriately):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/contrib/lisp"))
(require 'org-export)
(require 'org-e-ascii) ; if you want
(require 'org-e-html)  ; if you want
(require 'org-e-latex)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

In my case, I bind the new exporter dispatch to a key sequence, but that
is strictly optional. In addition, when the switchover is complete and
the old exporter is thrown overboard, C-c C-e will be the official
binding. In the meantime, something like this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-key org-mode-map (kbd "C-c E") 'org-export-dispatch)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

will allow you to invoke it with C-c E (which is officially undefined
currently). But you can always skip the define-key stuff and invoke it
the long way:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
M-x org-export-dispatch RET
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I do this:

    C-x C-f ~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp/
    M-x update-directory-autoloads RET RET org-contrib-install.el
    ;; Note the two RETs above
    (require 'org-contrib-install) ;; in .emacs

ps: one more install.el file to knock our heads over :-).

I should have said "you can use it ...", instead of "you can install it ...".
What I described is not an installation method.

It looks sufficiently different from the previous version to convince

with  the versions indicated above. Apart from the mangled Vegatation Spatial

else looks good to me.

Hmm, at the moment this still isn't working. The following compile log
is possibly relevant:
Leaving directory `/home/prayner/'
\f
Compiling file /home/prayner/packages/org-mode/contrib/lisp/org-e-latex.el at Fri Sep  7 22:28:37 2012
Entering directory `/home/prayner/packages/org-mode/contrib/lisp/'
org-e-latex.el:49:1:Error: Wrong type argument: listp, org-e-latex-center-block

the problem still occurs when I call org-e-latex-export-to-latex
this is from the latest pull from the repository. It must be something
wrong in my setup but I'm afraid I'm at my wit's end.
Any pointers for debugging much appreciated.
regards
Peter

I just pulled, added the ORG_ADD_CONTRIB line (see
http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-build-system.html#sec-4 for more info)
and did a make: I get no errors. Here is my version info

Org-mode version 7.9.1 (release_7.9.1-152-g0ad009 @ /home/nick/elisp/org-mode/lisp/)
GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.4) of 2012-07-28 on alphaville

I'm sorry my suggestion is causing you so much pain: all I can say is I
don't see these problems. Maybe you can tell us a bit more about your
install (machine, OS, emacs version, org version)?  Also what package
you downloaded and from where and how you are building it.
