Hi,
I usually export to PDF via LaTeX. One of the symbols I use a lot is
the degree symbol (as in degrees C) and typically do this with a
latex-ism:
^{\circ}C
This doesn't export well to ODT. Can anybody suggest what I can use
that would? Using "^{o}C" works but doesn't look very nice (lower case
o is not a circle, more of an oval).
Not a critical issue but I *am* curious!
Thanks,
eric

I've answered my own question: simply resort to UTF characters!
Replacing ^{\circ} with the DEGREE SIGN unicode character (°) does the
trick for both latex/pdf and odt exports! *And* looks good in the org
buffer as well.

For the sake of completeness, I'll mention that Scott Pakin's
Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List[1] lists several packages which include
\degree or something similar.

Thanks Carsten; this is a useful link indeed for latex users!
I'm not sure if any of these symbols, in general, export well to ODT?
At least the UTF solution seems to work in my specific case!

Hi,
I prefer utf-8 myself, but should it be impractical for any reason,
Org's built-in \deg entity is another possibility.
Terminate with {} before non-space character, e.g.:
Global mean temperature rose 0.74 \deg{}C over 1906--2005.
See the manual, 11.7.1 for pretty inline display.
Yours,
Christian

Oh, hey, neat! (I'm definitely going to have to back over the manual.)

Thanks. \deg works well.
Is there a list for symbols that will translate properly in ODT export,
akin to the org-entities variable? That variable knows about latex,
ascii, html, ... but not ODT!

Not to worry, org-entities and ODT both speak utf-8.
