Hi hier a ECM which fails ----------------------- #+LaTeX_CLASS: beamer #+startup: beamer * title #+BEGIN_Example: perl grep { $_ ->[0] } X{1,2,3} X{1,2,3} X{1,2,3}; #+END_Example: --------------------------- originally I tried Begin_src but I wanted to be sure that it has not to do with highlighting. I get the message "if: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil" But deleting the [0] solves the problem ----------------------------- #+BEGIN_Example: perl grep { $_ -> } X{1,2,3} X{1,2,3} X{1,2,3}; #+END_Example: --------------------------- Does org try to find footnotes in code blocks? Any help appreciated!!! Cheers Rolf
