Re: [O] \nbsp trick to get prefixed superscript to work?

[John Kitchin]

I think what Eric is referring to is:

#+latex_header: \usepackage[version=3]{mhchem}

@@latex:\ce{^{147}Pm}@@

that exports for me.

\nbsp{}^{147}Pm also seems to work, but might put an extra space in.

you might prefer \phantom{}^{147}Pm

I've recently have had to start writing papers with significant amounts
of chemistry in them.  I simply use the mhchem package which supports
all types of chemical notation...  org is quite happy with it for simple
entries although you may need to @@...@@ escape more complex entries.

However, if you wanted something portable, i.e. that could export to
other targets, then this won't help you.  Sorry!
