Hello,

I would like to generate the following latex export:

\begin{itemize}
\item[\Checkmark] foo
\end{itemize}

I tried both

-[\Checkmark]

and

- [\Checkmark]

but neither works.

Is this possible with org-mode?

Best,

Alan

It's not exactly pretty, but you can use a description list while
resetting it to the itemize environment, like:

#+ATTR_LATEX: :environment itemize  
  - \Checkmark :: foo

That produces:

\begin{itemize}
\item[{\Checkmark}] foo
\end{itemize}

At least, that works for me (I have not yet upgraded to Org 9.0;
so I don't know if this will continue to work, though I don't know of
any reason why it shouldn't). 

Hope that helps!

Best,
Richard

It works great (on current org), thanks a lot!

I know you've had some answers but if you want exactly what you
specified in LaTeX, the following will do it:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* intro
This is a list
- @@latex:[\(\checkmark\)]@@ and so on
- normal item
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---


(I don't have Checkmark defined so used checkmark instead)

Thank you for the suggestion. With macros that makes for a quite elegant
solution.

Best,

Alan

You're welcome.  And, yes, with macros, many LaTeX aspects can be
incorporated easily without making everything look a mess.
