Subscripts in URLs

Subscripts in URLs

[Ken Williams]

Hi,

I see in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-08/msg01014.html that a patch was committed back in 2010 that should prevent underscores from introducing subscripts in links.  However, I'm using 7.8.03 (released 2012-01-03) and when I insert a link like so:

  [[http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/events/ISP/presentations/JNT_forecast_evaluation_concepts.pdf]]

and export to HTML, I get a link with anchor text http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/events/ISP/presentations/JNTforecastevaluationconcepts.pdf, where "forecastevaluationconcepts" is subscripted.  The link *target* is correct, though.

Was there a subsequent commit that changes things back, or maybe something else I'm missing?  I'd like for the anchor text to just appear without org-mode's formatting stuff.

Thanks.

Maybe you have (setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts t) or ^:t in your
buffer? 

Otherwise the link is correctly exported here (I tested 7.8.03 and the
latest version from git.)

This should be the default if you use either ^:nil or ^:{}

HTH,

Indeed, that seems to be the case.  I do want to be able to use subscripts and other markup in general though, but in a URL like this it seems misplaced.

Maybe we could patch the core code to only process link markup when the author has explicitly given the anchor text?  Otherwise, if I'm linking to an external resource, I don't have control over whatever crazy stuff appears in the URL, and underscores are quite common.
