Hi Thomas, "Thomas S. Dye" wrote:The default value of org-export-latex-emphasis-alist treats the = and ~delimiters as \\verb. Both settings are ignored because org-export-latex-use-verb is nil by default. The = and ~ delimiters produce \texttt{} instead of \verb. This patch distinguishes = and ~ by changing the defaultfor = to \\texttt{%s}.The docstring has also been changed to refer to org-export-latex- use- verb.With this patch, users exporting to LaTeX will be able to use = for \texttt text in LaTeX moving environments and ~ for \verb text in places where it issafe to use this construct.What's the real use of that variable? I mean, wouldn't it be more simple ifOrg's export behavior was just based on the contents oforg-export-latex-emphasis-alist? Is there verbatim in it, we use verbatim. Isis texttt in it, we use texttt...In fact, in which cases do we want to override what's described in the alist?Best regards, Seb -- Sébastien Vauban
Aloha Seb,Do you mean the variable org-export-latex-use-verb? I haven't looked into its history in the git repo. Currently it defaults to nil, so \verb is not used and \texttt is used in its place.
Carsten has a patch on the list today that changes the default to t, which means that what you see in the alist is pretty much what you get. For reasons having to do with typesetting code snippets (that I don't fully understand), Carsten protects special characters in \texttt. This means that the alist doesn't contain a markup character that yields straight \texttt, though it should be straightforward to add one.
I hope this helps. In any event, it represents the limit of my understanding of what goes on in org-latex.el, which I freely admit falls far short of full comprehension.
All the best, Tom
