'|' in a table

'|' in a table

[Leo]

Hello, list,

I need to input a LaTeX formula in a cell of a org table. The formula
looks like this:

    $mad(x) = 1.4826\cdot median(|x_i-median(x)|)$

However org will think '|' as delimiter of the table. Any solutions?

Thanks,

$mad(x) = 1.4826\cdot median(\vert x_i-median(x)\vert)$

Or, better still

\newcommand{\median}{\mathop{\mathrm{median}}}
\newcommand{\mad}{\mathop{\mathrm{mad}}}
$\mad(x) = 1.4826\cdot \median(\vert x_i-\median(x) \vert)$

Cheers

Will

That's wonderful answer. Thanks.

Hi,

I have the same problem, but with HTML export. My
best idea for a|b so far is:

  a \brvbar b

With html \vert isn't translated :-(

My version of org-mode is 4.67c.

Thanks for any help,
Christoph Bauer

\vert will work in version 4.72, will be translated to |
