Hello,

The following list:

- label :: information

when exported to latex generates:

\begin{description}
\item{label} information
\end{description}

the format should be:

\begin{description}
\item[label] information
\end{description}

The difference being "label" should be enclosed in [ ] not { }

Many thanks for org-mode,
Matthew

FWIW, here I get

  \begin{description}
  \item[{label}] information
  \end{description}

Thanks Nicolas,

What version of org-mode are you using? I recently updated to 9.3.6 and am
fairly certain this issue is new.

I have not compared latex output from previous org-mode versions however
description labels in previous org mode versions were treated correctly by
xelatex(e.g bold font in a koma script article class). This stopped working
after my upgrade which prompted me to look at the latex output.

The format you get creates a properly formatted pdf.


  \begin{description}
  \item[{label}] information
  \end{description}


Regards,
Matthew

I've just updated org on my system and description lists work just fine,
as Nicolas has indicated.

Hello Eric and Nicolas,

I saw from Eric's email that he is using a newer Org release 9.3.7 (I was
on 9.3.6).

I updated to 9.3.7 and exported via latex to pdf and it works perfectly now.

I should have checked for a newer release prior to posting my issue.....

Many thanks for your help,
Matthew
