Subject: [BUG] Tables with square brackets do not compile in PDF (latex) export [9.5 (release_9.5-59-g52e6f1 @ /home/sjt015/repo/emacs/lisp/org/)]
Date: Wed, 10 Nov 2021 11:16:10 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAO12V+wB18nAN0FuDPAeN94GHdt_2nbdJtc4u7n4W3HAZbaZsA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

(Apologies for sending this from gmail, my mail setup was not working
with the -Q option in emacs.)

A table in which a first column begins with square brackets is not
compiling. The square bracket is interpreted by latex as an argument
to the preceding line break.

Example org table:
  | Input  | Output |
  |--------+--------|
  | [1, 2] | {3, 4} |
  | [5, 6] | null   |

When exported to a PDF ( C-c C-e l o), I expect that the PDF to be rendered
with the brackets in the table as shown in org.

Instead, the result is a latex compilation error. The brackets are being
interpreted as length arguments to the preceding line break.

This is a relevant Stack Exchange issue (for pure latex) which suggests
some possible solutions.

[[https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/34466/error-with-square-bracket-in-table][Error
with square bracket in table]]

To test, emacs was started with =emacs -q= to not load an init file.
