Closing brace with LaTeX export

Closing brace with LaTeX export

[Dr. Adrian Wrigley]

Hi people!

I've just started using Org mode (6.33x).  A fabulous tool.  But I have a problem
exporting TeX such as this:

----------------SAMPLE------------------------
I want to emphasise \emph{these three words} only.
------------------END-------------------------

when this is exported, the closing brace is erroneously escaped with a backslash "\".
It works fine without the spaces in the \emph section.

The closest discussion on the topic is here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-04/msg00427.html
but unlike Scot, I find even keeping the text on one line doesn't work.

I would like to pass multi-line arguments, with spaces in braces.
I don't think it works to put use a #+BEGIN_LaTeX block for
every argument, since that seems to confuse things and is very verbose.

What's the best way of doing this?

Thanks for your time!

Hi,
Probably the best thing to do is update to the latest version of
org-mode, in which this works even with line breaks.

best,
Ista

Thanks!  Works brilliantly now!
(thanks to Thomas S. Dye too)

I was using Debian Squeeze, which has the 6.33 by default.

Debian should not squeeze users into using such old versions ;)

Aloha Adrian Wrigley,

Version 6.33 is out of date.  It would likely help to upgrade your
Org-mode installation if possible.

All the best,
Tom
