Re: [BUG] LaTeX subtree export gives spurious "unbalanced begin/end_%s blocks" error

[Juan Pechiar <juan@pechiar.com>]

I have the same problem.

It occurs on a 2nd pass through org-export-blocks-preprocess (in
org-exp-blocks.el).

1st pass runs OK, 2nd pass gets the error condition.

1st pass processes the following:

   (buffer-substring match-start (point-max)) ->
   "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n  (message \"Hello, World!\")\n#+end_src\n"

2nd pass processes an emptied skeleton of the block

   (buffer-substring match-start (point-max)) ->
   "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n#+end_src\n"

And fails to balance begin with end.

At this point in the code, the regular expression for matching
begin/end contains (I made ^M and tab visible here):

  inner-re  =   "[\r\n][\t ]*#\\+\\(begin\\|end\\)_src"

And this expression fails right away:

  (re-search-forward inner-re nil t)  ->  nil

I'll try to dig further into what's goning on.

.j.
