No, it happens in other places as well: ``foo ^{14}C'' is mishandled
both in headings and in content, whereas ``foo x^{14}C'' is handled
correctly, so as Thomas surmised initially, it seems to be the space
preceding the ^ that causes it. The breakage seems to happen in
org-export-latex-treat-sub-super-char where the following test fails for
string-before when it is a space, but succeeds when it is e.g. ``x'':
,----
| ...
| ;; this is part of a math formula
| ((and (string-match "\\S-+" string-before)
| (string-match "\\S-+" string-after))
`----
The question is what would break if the first string-match were allowed
to match a space. E.g. the following "fixes" this problem but I have no
idea what it breaks - probably too many things:
,----
| ...
| ;; this is part of a math formula
| ((and t ;(string-match "\\S-+" string-before)
| (string-match "\\S-+" string-after))
`----
Note btw that ``foo ^{14}C'' is exported correctly to HTML (both in headers and
in content).
Thanks,
Nick
PS. Here is the org file I've been playing with:
,----
| #+OPTIONS: LaTeX:t ^:t
|
| * foo ^{14}C
|
| foo ^{14}C
`----
