Hi Eric,

I tested your example - with `C-c C-e l o' to export to LaTeX and open
the PDF file -, and the ellipse in the middle of the sentence appeared,
but the block

#+begin_src latex :results latex raw :exports results
  \begin{tikzpicture}
    \node[red!50!black] (a) {A};
    \node (b) [right of=a] {B};
    \draw[->] (a) -- (b);
  \end{tikzpicture}
#+end_src

did not make its way to the t.tex file... I asked for help in the
#org-mode channel at freenode, as I am an Org newbie, and found a fix.
Your example is one of the best one I've seen so far of diagrams-
in-Org-for-newbies, but it seems to be at least one micro-bug from
perfect, as it supposes that the person trying it has already enabled
latex support in babel!

Here is an idea to make your example more newbie-friendly: add the
comments below to it.

# Note that you may have to add latex support to babel
# to make the tikzpicture block work...
# see: (info "(org)Languages")
# try: (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((latex . t)))
#
# To disable to question "Evaluate this latex code block on your system?",
# see: (info "(org)Code evaluation security")
# try: (setq org-confirm-babel-evaluate nil)

Cheers =),
