Hi Nicolas,

I couldn't make this work.

I defined a new entity in org-entities-user, but the new exporter
appears to ignore it.  Does it look at this variable, or just
org-entities?

I played around a bit with entities defined in org-entities, and these
do transcode properly.  How do I get one in the middle of a word?  If I
leave a space after the entity, the space ends up in the output.  If I
don't leave a space, the entity isn't recognized.  

All the best,
Tom
