Hello,
I use Org-mode to take notes. I found that when there are nesting braces inside \emph{ }, \textit{ }, etc. the output is unexpected. The following org text
\emph{{n+1}-a}
\textit{a{b}c}
will be translated as LaTeX expressions
\emph\{\{n+1\}-a\}
\textit\{a\{b\}c\}
Can this be fixed?
Best,
Yue

Could you specify what do you expect in these cases?

I totally understand that many times copy directly latex chunk is a nice feature org-mode offers. From your example below, exporting the following script to latex would work ok in org-mode. #+BEGIN_SRC org #+options: toc:nil #+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsthm} #+LATEX_HEADER:\theoremstyle{theorem} #+LATEX_HEADER: \newtheorem{theorem}{Theorem}\usepackage{setspace} #+end_src * Theorem The longest word in this sentence is \emph{emphasized}. \begin{theorem} An emphasized a word looks \emph{distinguished}. \end{theorem} Yes, for my part I usually wrap into a source block, if I need native latex syntax #+BEGIN_SRC latex \emph{{n+1}-a} \textit{a{b}c} #+end_src I don't know if it is the case by design or if it is a bug.

Org only supports a limited part of the LaTeX syntax as raw syntax. This is not AucTeX mode! For complex macros (e.g., with nested braces), you need to use dedicated environments, as pointed out by Jérémie. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
