Orgmode LaTeX export special character in Title

Orgmode LaTeX export special character in Title

Hello,

If I want to export to LaTeX with the math symbols in the title:

#+TITLE:  This is a test for $D$

I get the $D$ in the PDF. Are there any way to let it behave the same as in
the body for the title?

Thanks!

Xin

This works fine here: 

GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.22.0)
Org-mode version 7.5 (baseline.263.gcf708)

Carsten pushed a fix back in November of last year. If your org-mode is older,
it's time to upgrade.

NB: it's probably a better practice to use the \(...\) inline math delimiters instead
of $...$

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your reply.  I updated my org to 7.5 and the $D$ worked in the
title. However, if I use \(D\) in the title, it says:
undefined control sequence

I tried \( ... \) in body, its OK.

Works fine here:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+TITLE:  This is a test for \(D\)

* foo
bar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What does the \title in the produced tex file look like? Mine looks
like this:

\title{This is a test for \(D\)}

and it compiles fine.

Hi Nick,

I saw there is no problem in the tex file. It's some other problem with my
tex files which seems not happy with that one in title. I tried on a simple
version, it works. Thank you!
