[Orgmode] Two questions about latex export
1. I am making a table of conditional probabilities. This means the table headers look like this: p(e|\omega), for example. The vbar in the header confuses orgmode. It thinks that's a column-delimiter. Adding a prefix \ does not help. Is there a work around? For the moment I put \newcommand{\vbar}{|} in a latex block and use \vbar in place of |. Works, but makes the table a little less readable than I'd like. more importantly: 2. I put an eqnarray* environment in my org file. The equation breaks across multiple lines so it looks like this: \begin{eqnarray*} x = blah blah blah \\ = blah blah blah \\ = blah blah blah \\ \end{eqnarray*} org-mode quotes (backslashes) the = so they don't get interpreted correctly. Is there something I can do to keep that from happening? thanks! Robert ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Once again, a great big thank you to Carsten for another hidden wonder of org-mode! And I second this vote of thanks! It's these little bits of org-mode that make for such an appealing package.

[Orgmode] Re: Idea for agenda notifications
Marcelo de Moraes Serpa celose...@gmail.com writes: Awesome! This idea could be extended to add other kind of events, like send emails, SMS, play some audio file, whatever (turn org-mode in a kind of PIM server too.. hmm, lots of cool ideas come to my mind). I still prefer using the gnome-notifier but it shouldn't be hard to adapt it for that. Well -- the first thing I need to do though is to master elisp :) I use a similar mechanism based on osd (on screen display) which doesn't pop up windows but simply writes text directly onto the display (over top of anything and everything). Much less intrusive than a pop-up window (IMO... YMMV) and is completely window manager agnostic (perfect for my Asus running X with ratpoison, for instance). The original code comes from Richard Riley and I believe the code I have was modified by Nick Dokos? In any case, the code is below. My elisp is not good enough to determine which bits are absolutely necessary, mind you... On Debian systems, you would need to install the gnome-osd package.

I believe that this means that the constant org-latex-entities in org-latex.el needs to be modified to admit the starred (unnumbered) variants of the latex math operators. Unfortunately, my simple-minded attempt to butcher in stars has run aground on the shoals of my ignorance of the combination of emacs-lisp string escapes, and emacs regexpressions. Simply adding \\begin{eqnarray*} to that list won't work, and even \\begin{eqnarray\\*} doesn't seem to do the right thing. if anyone can put me on the right track, I'll try to provide a patch.
