I found a reasonable solution: using ":\;" with no trailing space gives the right amount of space after the colon.

Hi LaTeX org-moders. I'm trying to get a non-sentence-ending space after a colon in LaTeX with org-mode. When I put a backslash after a colon to get the ordinary end-of-word space, org-mode changes it to "\backslash", which puts a backslash in the text. I also tried "\space", but that gave the large space. Similarly, ":~" was changed into ":\tilde". Is there some way I can escape my backslash so that org-mode will pass it to LaTeX as an actual backslash? Or is there another good way to get org-mode to tell LaTeX that I'm not ending a sentence with my colon? Thanks, David Moulton
