Re: [Orgmode] [PATCH] Preserve math environments in title when exporting to LaTeX

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Richard,

I have now applied this patch.  I am not entirely sure it will have no  
adverse effects, so please, people who do export to LaTeX, check after  
the next pull if you see any problems.

Thanks Richard!
