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

Hi CHristian,
this is correct. Since you already looked into the code, would you
like to write a patch to this effect?

Hi,
This patch (below and attached) seems to fix it. I've put the code at the
end of org-export-latex-links, which seems to be the right place (it doesn't
parallel the organization in the html exporter though).
Please check my work! I'm new to Lisp, and used git for the first time today.
Simple test: Export to LaTeX from an Org file including
[[bbdb:Jane Doe][Ms Doe]]
Currently it defaults to fixed-width (\texttt{Ms Doe}). When patched, it
should come out italicized (\textit{Ms Doe}) as per the export function
in org-bbdb.el.
Yours,
Christian

Hi Christian,
this looks pretty good! I just made a let binding for you local fnc
variable and replaced org-solidify-link-text with org-link-unescape.
Thanks, the patch is applied.

Thanks! I just copied those over from the html exporter without
thinking much.

Correction - I just wrote:

> thinking much.
- that wasn't true for org-solifidy-link-text, of course.
Just in case you started wondering if something was wrong
with the html exporter.
Thanks for patching.
