Thanks!

Yes, I wanted to show the "problem" (horrible LaTeX syntax) and the "solution"
(just write what you meant, with almost no extra syntax in Org).

That made quite a shock to the attendants, even if they're used to the LaTeX
side: they were astonished that the Org syntax was so close to the "how it's
displayed" in the PDF -- mainly for the lists, but also for the tables.

That's something I still haven't understood... The only one, and you spotted
it!

I tried all variations of ^:nil, ^:t and ^:{} but none translated the
super/sub-scripts correctly. A mystery that stays to be discovered...

Best regards,
Fabrice
