Hello,

Here an ECM (Example Complete and Minimal) showing two bugs occurring when
converting to LaTeX.


--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Bugs

** Conversion to texttt

   - Put the command =runit= "in hard"

   Not done because of the following word being between quotes...


** Paragraph disappears...

   - Add the code if
     + it is above 0
     + it is less than 10

     For the other cases, do nothing.

   The above paragraph is NOT converted to LaTeX!  You don't see it in the
   PDF...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The second one is more important, as some text is just ignored in the
conversion process.

Best regards,
  Seb

Unfortunately, this is a weakness of the list parser in the LaTeX  
exporter.
It cannot handle this kind of post-subitem text in an item list.  This  
really must be fixed, and it is on my list, but it is hard.

Hopefully, this will be fixed soon, because this is quite scary. Though, that
does not imply it is easy to do...

Here a couple of other conversion bugs that I found:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  - /S'il faut remodéliser ce qui est dans le code COBOL, comment faire ?
    Discussions avec le business, relire le COBOL ? Chez nous, la
    tarification n'est pas modélisée. Pourtant, c'est là qu'il faut aller
    vite vis-à-vis du marché./

    The above "question" (in a FAQ) should be in italics. But, to do so, we
    have to split it in multiple chunks in italics:

  - /S'il faut remodéliser ce qui est dans le code COBOL, comment faire ?/
    /Discussions avec le business, relire le COBOL ?/ /Chez nous, la
    tarification n'est pas modélisée./ /Pourtant, c'est là qu'il faut aller
    vite vis-à-vis du marché./

  - Le /challenge/ : efficacité et rapidité...

    Here, the word challenge is not in italics because the following character
    is an unbreakable space (*not* a normal space).

        Note -- I'm forced to use such characters in order to get my LaTeX PDF
        correctly outputted. Anyway, under Emacs, the normal space is
        converted to an unbreakable one, each time it is before a ":"
        character, so that's easy to do, but the output is not correctly
        converted.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards,
  Seb

Be my guest to give it a try.

You need to configure `org-emphasis-regexp-components' and increase  
the number of newlines allowed in these expressions.

I don't understand that.  Could you please elaborate?

Maybe you can fix this by adding your unbreakable space in org- 
emphasis-regexp-components to the end of the second string of  
characters, these are the characters allowed after an emphasis string.

I'd be glad my level for debugging Emacs Lisp was that high. Unfortunately,
not sure it is...

How do you do in such a case?  Adding edebug calls in some functions?  Other
way?

Done it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    ;; Add the unbreakable space as allowed character after an emphasis
    ;; string, and modify the maximum number of newlines allowed in an
    ;; emphasis
    (setq org-emphasis-regexp-components
          '(" 	('\"{"
            "- 	., :!?;'\")}\\"
            " 	\r\n,\"'"
            "."
            4))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

None of the above 2 mentionned problem seems to disappear, though, on this
ECM:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  - /S'il faut remodéliser ce qui est dans le code COBOL, comment faire ?
    Discussions avec le business, relire le COBOL ? Chez nous, la
    vite vis-à-vis du marché./

    The above "question" (in a FAQ) should be in italics. But, to do so, we
    have to split it in multiple chunks in italics:

  - /S'il faut remodéliser ce qui est dans le code COBOL, comment faire ?/
    /Discussions avec le business, relire le COBOL ?/ /Chez nous, la
    tarification n'est pas modélisée./ /Pourtant, c'est là qu'il faut aller
    vite vis-à-vis du marché./

  - Le /challenge/ : efficacité et rapidité...

    Here, the word challenge is not in italics because the following character
    is an unbreakable space (*not* a normal space).

        Note -- I'm forced to use such characters in order to get my LaTeX PDF
        correctly outputted. Anyway, under Emacs, the normal space is
        converted to an unbreakable one, each time it is before a ":"
        character, so that's easy to do, but the output is not correctly
        converted.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Yes. I mean: would I write pure LaTeX from scratch, I would insert `~' here
and there when I want an unbreakable space to be produced (resulting in a nice
PDF output).

Here, as I write pure Org that gets converted, I need to insert a real
unbreakable space in my Org source. That's the source of some problems, such
as the second above mentionned (emphasis not correct after word "challenge").

    Note -- Currently, that character is not converted to a tilde when
    exporting to LaTeX. That could be a good option, though.

Best regards,
  Seb

Hi Sebastian, this is not really an issue for debugging.
The list parser used by the LaTeX exporter simply does
not cater for text intermittent in a list, and the Lisp structure
created by the parser does not have a way to represent
such text.  So this is not "a bug" you'd have to find, but rather
new code which would have to be written.....

yes, or (debug)

I rephrase my sentence: the problem *does not* disappear. Have I missed
something when setting `org-emphasis-regexp-components'?
