Aloha all,
You aren't Thomas Magnum, are you?
Is there a way to insert special characters in org-mode so they
export
correctly to both LaTeX and HTML? I'm interested in characters that
don't appear on the long list of LaTeX special characters that export
to HTML listed here: http://
orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.php#sec-9
I use Hawaiian words extensively and they often require a macron over
vowels, so Ā ā Ē ē etc. in HTML or \=A, \=a, \=E,
\=e, etc. in LaTeX.
I use the same characters for Sanskrit. They export just fine to
LaTeX.
To type them I have the following in my .emacs:
(define-key global-map [(meta a)] nil) ;;make Alt-a free as a prefix
(define-key org-mode-map [(meta a)] nil)
(defun insert-lang-a ()
(interactive)
(ucs-insert "0101"))
(global-set-key "\M-aa" 'insert-lang-a)
(defun insert-lang-i ()
(interactive)
(ucs-insert "012B"))
(global-set-key "\M-ai" 'insert-lang-i)
This binds a-macron and i-macron to M-aa and M-ai. The same can be
done
for all other characters (M-aA = A-macron etc.).
For LaTeX-export you should set inputenc to utf8x.
Hope it helps

Hi Sven,
This is brilliant. Thanks! I tried to find this solution in the
documentation last night but came up empty. Did I miss something?
Seems like it should be there someplace.
Actually, I harbor a grudge against Thomas Magnum :) I've been a
Detroit Tigers fan for more than 50 years. For many of those years
I've worn a Tiger's cap in the summer, but once Magnum started doing
it, people began to accuse me of aping him. I had to find a friend
with a TV to find out what people were asking me. You are the first
to ask in at least a decade.
Thanks again for your help.
Tom
