Hi Erik, This seems to work for me: ,----[ sample org file ] | * nbsp | If I do: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve 2= 00\nbsp m^2 it gets exported `---- this exports as=20 ,----[ latex output ] | ... | \label{sec-1} |=20 | If I do: one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve 2= 00~ m\^{}2 it gets exported | \end{document} `---- and when I look at that as a PDF it doesn't break between the 200 and m^2. I tried adding x and xx before the 200 and it pushes the entire thing to the next line. I can't make it break on a line so 200 is at the end of one line and m^2 is on the following line. Does this work for you? -Bernt
