Re: [O] exporting α/β to latex/pdf

But that's not quite right: you end up with a circular definition (and both pdflatex and plain latex think so: they infloop). One way to fix it using a math alpha: --8---cut here---start-8--- #+LATEX_HEADER: \DeclareUnicodeCharacter{03b1}{\(\alpha\)}

The *easiest* solution is to just say \alpha and \beta in the org file instead of α and β. But biting the bullet and adopting XeTeX or LuaTeX is probably the *best* way to go (he says without ever having used either...) For those who stick with pdflatex, you can also use α directly in the org

Hi everyone, So, yes, that's a bit of a headache as well and I think if you are doing a bunch with extra Emacs add-ons, it would be worth syncing. Rather than Dropbox, you could use a version control system. My entire .emacs.d is under git control, I can try out a library, and if I like it,

Hi Leonard, I am in the process of writing a new package for inserting citations into org buffers using RefTeX. I'd be interested to know what you have in mind. I use something of the sort, by customising `reftex-cite-format`, e.g: (setq reftex-cite-format '((?\C-m . \\cite[]{%l})

Hi Ken, When I export this to LaTeX, it is not treated as a proper LaTeX citation. The text is just the %A (%y) part. Is there some way to export so that the ref:%l turns into a \cite{%l}? The ref is a custom link type, you can define those in org with `org-add-link-type`, and they allow

I find the best way to support ODT is simply add something like this: ((eq format 'odt) (format (%s) desc)) This doesn't create a bibliography section, but that section is awkward to export to anyway. It requires the 3rd party Org hack that isn't officially supported, java,

It appears to work for multicite for me. Or at least well enough. If I select multiple entries, I get this: [[ref:Author1:,Author2:,Author3:][()]] I can then easily insert the text I want into the (). It exports properly to LaTeX as

Hi John, This is great ! Way more advanced than anything I have said. 2. Clickable cite links. If you have a citation link like cite:key1,key2,key3 you can click on key1 and open the bibliography file to key1, and you can click on key2 and have it open at key 2. This link would export in

Hi all, - Should I use biblatex instead of bibtex? You should. It is very powerful and straightforward. The manual is great. As for citations, I find that the most flexible way is to define my own link types, that allows control on both org formatting and export Let's say for example that
