underscore escaping

underscore escaping

[Andreas Leha]

Hi all,

do I miss something wrt underscore escaping?

According to the manual [fn:1] I expect to see underscores in the
exported (to LaTeX) version of this test file:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* Underscore\_Escaping_Test

Underscore\_Escaping_Test

#+caption: Underscore\_Escaping_Test
#+begin_src latex :exports code
  \latex
#+end_src
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



But instead, I get something with $\backslash$$_....$:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\section{Underscore$\backslash$$_{\text{Escaping}}$$_{\text{Test}}$}
\label{sec-1}

Underscore$\backslash$$_{\text{Escaping}}$$_{\text{Test}}$

\lstset{language=TeX,caption={Underscore$\backslash$$_{\text{Escaping}}$$_{\text{Test}}$},numbers=none}
\begin{lstlisting}
\latex
\end{lstlisting}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---



Is that intended?  And if so, what is the intended way to escape an
underscore?


Regards,
Andreas

At the moment, there is no support for escaped characters in the export
framework. Thus, the manual is inaccurate here.

You can set `org-export-with-sub-superscripts' to '{} and write:

  Underscore_Escaping_{Test}

Note that implementing it back is in my TODO list, but I'd like to
generalize to emphasis markup, too. So, it will have to wait a bit.

Thanks for the info.
