I want to use the \nbsp macro to generate a '~' symbol for Latex, but I don't seem to get it to work correctly in my case. I want to write 200~m=B2 If I do: 200\nbspm^2 it gets exported as: 200\nbspm$^2$, so the symbol is not recognized. If I do: 200\nbsp m^2 it gets exported as 198~ m$^2$, so in addition to the nbsp there is another space at which a linebreak can occur trying: 200\nbsp{}m^2 in analogy to other commands I get: 200~\{\}m$^2$, so the parentheses are not recognized as belonging to the command. I am using the latest org version (just did a git pull and checked that the behavior is still there) with emacs 23.1.1 Any hints appreciated. Thanks, Erik
