[O] Bug: Confusing example in "Advanced configuration" [9.0.10 (9.0.10-5-g1654a5-elpa @ /home/rrt/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20170904/)] |

Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and
what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
http://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback
Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The page http://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-configuration.html has the
following example:
Here is an example filter that replaces non-breaking spaces ~ in the Org buffer
with _ for the LaTeX back-end.
(defun my-latex-filter-nobreaks (text backend info)
"Ensure \"_\" are properly handled in LaTeX export."
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'latex)
(replace-regexp-in-string "_" "~" text)))
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-plain-text-functions
'my-latex-filter-nobreaks)
This is confusing in several ways. First, the replacement is made the
other way around (that is, _ is replaced by ~). Secondly, “_” does not
denote a non-breaking space in org-mode, as far as I can see. Does the
text mean “LaTeX non-breaking spaces”? Finally, underscore has a
particular meaning in Org, namely, subscript.
Is this an example that used to make sense but doesn’t any longer?
