Re: [O] Again problems with latex inside footnotes.

[Rafael Calsaverini]

Hi Bastien,

I have enough interest in using org-mode to produce latex texts to get involved. I can't do it right now cause I'm in a critical time to produce results for my thesis, but I've been delaying learning e-lisp and taking a good look on org-mode for some time. 

Nick Dokos above said that org-mode uses a huge regexp to parse the latex. When this pressing phase pass I'll certainly take a look on that. I played a bit (only a bit) with funcional parsers in Haskell (monadic parsers and parsers based on arrows) and, in my experience, they are much, much more easy to write and more powerful than regexp's (they can parse html! :D). Well, lisp is functional... Maybe I'll take a look at this in the near future.

Yes, we need to rework the way the exporters handle espace chars,
especially the LaTeX one --- it's not only ugly and buggy.

Don't hold your breath though, I won't be on this before 7.7.

Thanks for your understanding,
