Hi!
The test file below contains a columnview table showing section
headers.
Export to HTML works OK: the asterisks inside the table are
transformed into indentation.
Export to LaTeX: asterisk pairs are interpreted as emphasis,
resulting
in an incorrect renering of asterisks and bold asterisks.
Following the code, I got lost at org-export-latex-fontify.
I will keep searching for what is happening, but any guidance will
be
appreciated.
I have fixed at least part of the problem, so the stars will no
longer
be
interpreted as emphasis.
However, I am still getting strange results. FOrmatting a latex file
with this:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
ITEM \\
\hline
* There comes the table \\
* first \\
** second \\
*** third \\
*** other third \\
**** fourth \\
** other second \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
somehow swallows some of the stars, but seemingly random.
For example, the star before "There" remains, but the star
before "first" disappears.
This must be some strange LaTeX thing - does anyone
understand what is going on here?
This is indeed a LaTeX thing. The newline sequence (\\) has more than
one signature
- \\ :: simple newline
- \\[additionalSpace] :: newline with additionalSpace
- \\*[additionalSpace] :: same as above but will not break a page
After the \\ sequence, LaTeX looks for a [ or a * in case the optional
argument exists. In the example above the star is found as _part of a
command sequence_ and is therefore not available as something to
typeset.
One solution in this situation is to put an empty group before the
stars:
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{l}
ITEM \\
\hline
{}* There comes the table \\
{}* first \\
{}** second \\
{}*** third \\
{}*** other third \\
{}**** fourth \\
{}** other second \\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
I will think on other possible options. I hope this helps.
Well, it certainly helps! Thanks a lot. At least I understand
now what is going on. I guess one solution would be to add an empty
column into the Org table and export this as an empty column.
Whatever we do, it will be a hack.

Thanks!

Test file:
========================================
#+COLUMNS: %25ITEM
* There comes the table
#+BEGIN: columnview :vlines 1 :id global
| | ITEM |
|---+-------------------------|
| | * There comes the table |
| | * first |
| | ** second |
| | *** third |
| | *** other third |
| | **** fourth |
| | ** other second |
| / | <> |
#+END:
* first
** second
*** third
*** other third
**** fourth
** other second
========================================
LaTeX output:
========================================
\begin{tabular}{l}
ITEM \\
\hline
* There comes the table \\
* first \\
** second \\
*** third \\
\textbf{*} other third \\
\textbf{**} fourth \\
** other second \\
\end{tabular}
========================================
And the PDF display reads:
========================================
ITEM
* There comes the table
first
* second
** third
* other third
** fourth
* other second
========================================
