It exports nicely, so I believe that's the reason it was made this way. You can replace them with spaces using `org-toggle-pretty-entities`, although it will throw off the width of your table. Otherwise you can edit the code that inserts them, which is mentioned in the linked thread. - Tory Rainer Stengele <rainer.steng...@online.de> writes: > Hi, > > I am getting "\emsp" in my clocktable reports. > I use > > #+BEGIN: clocktable :maxlevel 4 :fileskip0 t :tcolumns 0 :level nil :scope > agenda-with-archives :timestamp nil :block 2015-03 :step day :link t > :stepskip0 t > #+END: > > to create these clocktable > > > Daily report: [2015-03-02 Mo] > | File | Headline > | Time | > |-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------| > | | ALL *Total time* > | *9:00* | > |-----------------------+----------------------------------------------------------+--------| > | Projectmanagement.org | *File time* > | *2:45* | > | | \emsp [[..][Project Managament: Weekly meetings > etc.]] | 2:45 | > | | \emsp\emsp [[..][TODO *00 - Project Managament > -...]] | 2:45 | > > Anybody has an idea where this comes from and how to get rid of it? > > Thank you. > Regards, Rainer
