Subject: Latex export issues when external links are used inside tables.
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2009 17:04:44 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e5c41fe60906150434k7deed83bj1861d70aed115535@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

hi,
   If I try to use link abbrevations inside tables, there are some issues
when exporting to latex. Say for example, if we consider the following eg :

If the link contains this ampersand '&' character, which has special meaning
inside latex table, org mode generates incompatible .tex file. With the
latest org-mode {from git sources}, I have the following generated output :

'pdflatex' simply fails to produce a pdf because '&' has creeped in due to
'#+LINK: ads' expansion. This simple problem can be solved by treating
'&' as special character, and replace it with '\&'. For above example,
just replace 'test&db' with 'test\&db' IN-THE-FIRST-ARG-OF \href. Well, I
am new to elisp, and I am still figuring out how to counter this issue.
[Oh! what a lame excuse!].

Thanks,
