Subject: Re: LaTeX export: underscores and the syntax package

Good morning Nicholas,
Your suggested change in org-exp.el did the trick, thanks! I have not observed any side-effects, but then again, my files aren’t that complicated either, only using rather simple markup and a few floating images, no complex math or so…
I wouldn’t mind having it changed as a fix, if only to avoid clashes with the syntax package, which I use a lot. Furthermore, I personally dislike underscores: they’re ugly and harder to type than a hyphen, but since they’re generated automatically those arguments don’t stand a chance :-)
Anyway, now I know where to look I can always change it after installing a new release of org :-)
Cheers,
Peter.
