Hello,
in a software documentation we want to refer to menu entries like this:
[menu][arrow right][menu entry]
no spaces between the text and the arrow.
(usually, we would use a syntax like
"menu:menu entry"
but this is interpreted by org as an internal link?)
We find that:
(1) File\rarrOpen
does not work: \rarr is not recognized
(2) File\rarr Open
leaves a blank space before the "Open"
(3) Datei\rarrÖffnen
works as expected - but only if \rarr is followed by a special
character like an Umlaut
This leads to the more general question on how to deliminate a Tex-
like fragment without "side effects". It is also important for
inserting non-breaking space as
(4) Do\nbsp Not\nbsp Break
will not work because of the additional spaces (is there a better way
to insert "nbsp"?).
(5) \alpha\nbsp\beta
does work as expected
Many thanks in advance,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,
this is a difficult problem, I would use
File\mbox{$\rarr$}Open
or so. Org-mode does protect macros with an argument entirely.
However, this will not work well for HTML export - but maybe you
only need LaTeX?????
