Hello all,
this may not belong in this mailing list as it's arguably a LaTeX issue
but I'm having a problem exporting a table to PDF via LaTeX. I hope
somebody can help me out.
I've reduced my problem file to a small (hopefully minimal) example and
verified this with emacs -Q, using emacs 27.x which comes with org 9.3:
#+begin_src org
,* some results
,#+name: atable
|------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----|
| x | z1 | z2 | g |
|------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----|
| [0.0005, 0.05, 0.5] | 90000.0 | 0.05 | 0.0 |
| [0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5] | 110000.0 | 0.05759476698672508 | 0.0 |
|------------------------------------+----------+----------------------+-----|
#+end_src
If I export this to LaTeX, I get something that looks reasonable (elided):
#+begin_src latex
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\begin{document}
% packages deleted, none of which is used anyway in the following
\tableofcontents
\section{some results}
\label{sec:org4f5891c}
\begin{table}[hbtp]
\label{atable}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{lrrr}
\hline
x & z1 & z2 & g\\
\hline
[0.0005, 0.05, 0.5] & 90000.0 & 0.05 & 0.0\\
[0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5] & 110000.0 & 0.05759476698672508 & 0.0\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{document}
#+end_src
I get errors like this when compiling with pdflatex:
#+begin_example
! Illegal unit of measure (pt inserted).
<to be read again>
,
l.18 [0.000787451, 0.0575948, 0.5]
& 110000.0 & 0.05759476698672508 & 0.0\\
! Missing = inserted for \ifdim.
<to be read again>
#+end_example
What am I doing wrong? If LaTeX cannot handle [...] in a table (it has
no problem with similar text in a normal paragraph), the LaTeX exporter
should do something about this. But I do not see why LaTeX should have
a problem in any case. Any pointers welcome!
Note: LaTeX does not complain about the first line in the table, only
the second (and following ones in the original org file from which I
took this code snippet).
Thank you.
