Re: org-add-link-type

[Christian Moe <mail@christianmoe.com>]

Hi again,

That is indeed surprising. It looks as if an empty desc is never 
passed, instead it is replaced with the full raw path. I don't think 
that's the right behavior, and I don't really see how it could result 
from org-export-latex-links.

Hadn't noticed this before because my own "cite" links all have a desc 
part, e.g. [[cite:green84][Green, 1984]], and then the problem doesn't 
come up.

Yours,
Christian
