Dear org-mode experts,
If I create a .org file containing this line...
,----[ minimal_example.org ]
| This is just some text on p. 17. Some more text.
`----
... and then export it to pdf via C-c C-e p, you can see from the output that
the space after "p." is too large. In a standard .tex file one would escape the
space via "p.\ 17". But this leads to a backslash in the .pdf (when
exported). How can this space be escaped?
Cheers,
Marius

Hi,
I typically use a non-breaking space in this case with C-x 8 <space>.
This also prevents a linebreak at this position. For this to work I have
to add the following line in the LaTeX preamble:
\DeclareUnicodeCharacter{00A0}{~}
Cheers,
Viktor

or use the `utf8x' (see the `x') inputenc.
Though, I do not no which solution is better...
Best regards,

You can use Org entities, i.e.:
This is just some text on p.\nbsp{}17. Some more text.

Dear Nicolas, many thanks for pointing this out.
\nbsp{} leads to ~, which is correct in this case. Is there also a way to get
"\"? [there is a slight but sometimes important difference].
Cheers,
Marius

Do you mean "\ "?
Not out of the box, but you can add your own entities in
`org-entities-user'.
For example, you can have:
(add-to-list 'org-entities-user '(spc "\\ " nil " " " " " " " "))
And then use
p.\spc{}17

I have put the above line in ~/.emacs and restarted emacs. It writes now as "p.17",
so without space at all. Do you know why?

Yes, that is a typo on my side: it should be "spc", not spc.
