Hi all,
I'm having some problems with latex export, can someone help me out?
Since orgmode already uses hyperref, is there any reason why
\phantomsection is not added before \label by default? How can I enable it?
Also, how can I disable <<target>> from printing out the value in the
latex output from inside numbered lists? ie:
\label{target}
instead of
\label{target} target
It works fine at section headings but not within a list.
I tried this:
1.
#+ <<target>>
Some text
2. More text [[target][go to]]
and the latex export ignored the target (ie, no \label was generated)
TIA,
Indraneel

Hi Bastien, I'm so glad to receive a reply. The problem is twofold. I need numbered paragraphs in Latex, with cross-references to the paragraphs. Since latex seems to have muddled with \par and \endpar, although numbered paragraphs are possible in Tex, they are not automatic or simple in latex. Numbered lists, however are easy in orgmode. Another problem in Tex/Latex is that references always point to the beginning of the smallest environment (probably actually section, but maybe hyperref modifies it to the beginning of environment). So, placing a \label in a numbered list has the desired effect. However, orgmode seems to have a bug (or a feature lack), in that I cannot place a #+<<label>> inside a list without destroying the automatic numbering. An example of what does not work (no label generated): 11. #+ <<target>> Some text 12. More text [[target][go to]] And this one breaks automatic numbering: 10. Something #+<<target>> 11. Some text <<---- running C-c C-c on 11 changes it to 1. Obviously, I want the target to be the item, not to some changeable text in the list content, and I also want to hide the target identifier. [Two more problems I noticed (or my lack of knowledge of orgmode): <<target>> always prints out the contents; i.e. an option like <<target><description>> would be nice. Also numbers in []; i.e. [[11]] or [[11][see 11]] get mangled in latex output; I couldn't figure out how to avoid that.] Since I couldn't use numbered lists, the other option was to number paragraphs by hand, and place #+<<target>> in the lines above them. Orgmode does correctly place the \label but latex/tex ignores it. hyperref enables this label only if \phantomsection is present in the line above it. With \phantomsection and \label the pdf output works fine. Actually \phantomsection \label{target} works fine anywhere in the text. My suggestion is twofold: 1. Allow a <<target><description>> where description can be empty or nil; eg. <<target><>> If orgmode does not do something like this already, this will allow suppressing contents of the target in the output, if target is present inline; i.e. no #+ 2. Add a \phantomsection where ever a <<target><description>> is located, while exporting to latex. Please let me know if I'm missing something. I'm new to orgmode, and thank you for it.

More text [[target][go to]] You're right that there is a problem. The usual way of turning radio links invisible is to comment them, but Org comments need to be at the beginning of the line, which breaks list indentation. (Btw, no need for the '+' in '#+' -- '#+' is the syntax prefix for optional elements like blocks, etc.) The workaround here is to add (INVISIBLE) after your <<target>> This works: > 11. <<target>>(INVISIBLE) > Some text > 12. More text [[target][go to]] It exports okay in HTML and LaTeX. I've added a FAQ entry for this -- not sure whether it should go in the manual. Thanks for bringing this up! -- Bastien ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread

Please put it in the manual, it's just one line. I've spent looking for it every inch of the manual for more than a day. So will you be putting in \phantomsection for inline targets to work? I guess if someone is using a <<target>> then it's more likely /not/ to be a section heading. Putting it at a section heading doesn't hurt, but not having it inline makes for a useless <<target>>. Off course for Latex only, so probably should be in the exporter.

(Btw, no need for the '+' in '#+' -- '#+' > is the syntax prefix for optional elements like blocks, etc.) #+ is also a valid comment syntax according to the manual. By the way, do you think lists should ignore indentation of comments, that is lines matching "^#[ \t]+"? Regards -- Nicolas ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
