LaTeX export: underscores and the syntax package

[peter.frings@agfa.com]

Good afternoon all,

I spent the best part of the afternoon trying to figure out why an org-generated .tex file wouldn’t compile with my set-up. It turns out that the `syntax’ package messes a bit with the definition of an underscore, making it impossible to use the underscore in a \label.

Unfortunately, the LaTeX exporter uses underscores in its section labels.


Actually, it is possible to have the _ in \label: use the `nounderscore’ option with the syntax package. But you then do not get the tweaked underscore in plain text (unless you use \_ again).

Since I’d like to keep the syntax package and the ease of using plain underscores, I’d like to avoid the _ in labels. 

Maybe I didn’t look hard enough, but I didn’t find an obvious way to change the way org generates the labels. Would it be an option to use the same label-generating code as AUCTeX mode? That would be very nice!


Thanks,
Peter.
