Hello all, this may not belong in this mailing list as it's arguably a LaTeX issue but I'm having a problem exporting a table to PDF via LaTeX. I hope somebody can help me out.
I've reduced my problem file to a small (hopefully minimal) example and verified this with emacs -Q, using emacs 27.x which comes with org 9.3: #+begin_src org ,* some results ,#+name: atable |------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----| | x | z1 | z2 | g | |------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----| | [0.0005, 0.05, 0.5] | 90000.0 | 0.05 | 0.0 | | [0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5] | 110000.0 | 0.05759476698672508 | 0.0 | |------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----| #+end_src If I export this to LaTeX, I get something that looks reasonable (elided): #+begin_src latex \documentclass{scrartcl} \begin{document} % packages deleted, none of which is used anyway in the following \tableofcontents \section{some results} \label{sec:org4f5891c} \begin{table}[hbtp] \label{atable} \centering \begin{tabular}{lrrr} \hline x & z1 & z2 & g\\ \hline [0.0005, 0.05, 0.5] & 90000.0 & 0.05 & 0.0\\ [0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5] & 110000.0 & 0.05759476698672508 & 0.0\\ \hline \end{tabular} \end{table} \end{document} #+end_src I get errors like this when compiling with pdflatex: #+begin_example ! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted). <to be read again> , l.18 [0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5] & 110000.0 & 0.05759476698672508 & 0.0\\ ! Missing = inserted for \ifdim. <to be read again> #+end_example What am I doing wrong? If LaTeX cannot handle [...] in a table (it has no problem with similar text in a normal paragraph), the LaTeX exporter should do something about this. But I do not see why LaTeX should have a problem in any case. Any pointers welcome! Note: LaTeX does not complain about the first line in the table, only the second (and following ones in the original org file from which I took this code snippet).
