Re: [BUG] Any column character in #+LATEX_HEADER breaks the export [9.5.5 (release_9.5.5 @ c:/Program Files/Emacs/emacs-28.2/share/emacs/28.2/lisp/org/)]

Hello,
I think I have found the reason for the issue and I can reformulate the
situation like this:
"the presence of any column after #+LATEX_HEADER: breaks the export* if
there is no blank space* between #+LATEX_HEADER:and the
rest of the line."
This only applies to* emacs running on MS-Windows* since the absence of
space caused not problem with my previous emacs (GNU Emacs 27.2 (build 1,
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.20, cairo version 1.16.0) with Org
mode version 9.6 (9.6-??-e7ea951 @
/home/olivier/.emacs.d/.local/straight/build-27.2/org/).

Conclusions
- I should have better looked at section 17.8
<https://orgmode.org/manual/In_002dbuffer-Settings.html> of the manual to
see that one space is always present after the column and the word
- Maybe the first sentence of this section should be changed like this to
stress on this detail:
" In-buffer settings start with ‘#+’, followed by a keyword, a colon, *a
blank space* and then a word for each setting."

Best regards,     Olivier
