math in footnotes not exported correctly when a buffer is narrowed

math in footnotes not exported correctly when a buffer is narrowed

[Mark Edgington]

I've noticed a bug in org-mode's LaTeX exporting of footnotes when a
buffer is narrowed to a particular section.  To reproduce, try to
export the following org-file to a LaTeX document, and inspect the
resulting LaTeX code -- it will have stripped the math environment off
of "\tau_s":


* Test Section
Here we test whether the footnote is exported correctly [1].  Be sure to narrow
the buffer to this section only before doing a LaTeX export.
* Footnotes
[1] $\tau_s$ is blah blah blah.


Let me know if there's a workaround for this (apart from just "don't
narrow the buffer").  Thanks!

Regards,

Mark

It was fixed a while ago in master.  Are you using 8.2?

Oh, I thought I was using something more recent, since the version was named
"8.3beta", but apparently that's old.  Thanks!

A slight digression:  I noticed, when cloning the git repo, that the current
repo size is around 67 MB.  That seems somewhat large for a repo consisting
primarily of source code (when all the source compresses to under 3MB). 
Have there been discussions about splitting the repository so that older
content is relegated to a 'historic' repo?  Also, org.el is nearly 1MB in
size, which is crazy -- maybe it could use some splitting also!

8.3beta is the name used for master.  If your version of Org is up to date
you should not see this problem.

Patches are welcome of course.

Thanks,
