Referring to [1]:
I just tried the following, so that I could maintain a list of special cases
where org's default latex export doesn't do what I want.
(setq hjh-org-latex-macros '(("`em" "'em")))
(defun hjh-latex-filter-macros (text backend info)
"hjh: Replace special cases listed in hjh-org-latex-macros."
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(dolist (element hjh-org-latex-macros)
(replace-regexp-in-string (car element) (car (cdr element)) text))))
First I tried
(setq org-export-filter-plain-text-functions '(hjh-latex-filter-macros))
-- no result: `em passes through unchanged. So then I tried clearing
plain-text-functions and using final-output-functions instead. Same thing: the
filter didn't do anything.
I suppose I'm missing something simple.
Thanks in advance for advice,
hjh
