[BUG] in LaTeX export

[BUG] in LaTeX export

[Thomas Holst]

Hello,

while exporting an org-file to LaTeX I stumbled across a minor bug with
emphasis and underscores.

Minimal org-file:
#+begin_src org
#+OPTIONS: ^:{}
* Emphasis Test

  _abc /_abc/ *_abc* /a_bc/ *a_bc*

#+end_src

leads to the following LaTeX code:

#+begin_src

  \_{}abc \emph{_abc} \textbf{_abc} \emph{a\_{}bc} \textbf{a\_{}bc}

#+end_src

So emphasised text strings starting with an underscore are not exported
correctly and confuse LaTeX.

emacs 23.2 on WinXP, org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.34.g54c51)
(localy patched Makefile and org-git-link.el)

Best regards
  Thomas

P.S. org-mode is a superb piece of software and really makes my life
a lot easier. Thanks to all of you!

You need to escape the underscore:

  \_abc /\_abc/ *\_abc* /a\_bc/ *a\_bc*

HTH,

thank you for your answer. Escaping does help. But I thought with setting

#+OPTIONS: ^:{}

there is no need to escape underscores.

#+begin_src org
  _abc and /a_bc/ 
#+end_src

is correctly exported:

#+begin_src latex
  \_{}abc \emph{a\_{}bc}
#+end_src

without escaping the underscore. Only strings wihch start with an
underscore and are emphsised are not exported correctly.

#+begin_src org
  /_abc/
#+end_src

gets exported to:

#+begin_src latex
  \emph{_abc}
#+end_src

Which confuses latex.
