Hi,

(I'm new to the list; have been an enthusiastic Org user for a year and
half; now using version 6.36; am an Elisp novice.)

It looks like support for formatting custom link types in LaTeX export
is broken?

I was trying to implement a custom link type with its own formatting
function for HTML and LaTeX export, following the steps in
org-bbdb.el.

I've found that org-bbdb-export does not italicize bbdb links in
LaTeX, nor does my own org-cite-export turn my custom =cite:= links
into LaTeX =\cite{}= citations. Everything works fine in HTML export,
but in LaTeX all custom link types get formatted as =\texttt{descr}=.

I see that org-export-as-html and org-export-as-docbook look up
org-link-protocols to get the function for formatting the link, but it
seems that org-export-as-latex doesn't.

Yours,
Christian Moe
