There is a bug in the processing of description list.
Given the list: ,---- | - not a link :: not a link | - [[http://link.com][http link]] :: baz | - [[#href-test][custom_id link]] :: bar | - [[def list][search link]] :: foo `---- The latex exporter generates the following output, which fails latex processing on the `hyperref's. ,---- | \begin{description} | \item[not a link] not a link | \item[\href{http://link.com}{http link}] baz | \item[\hyperref[sec-1]{custom\_id link}] bar | \item[\hyperref[sec-1]{search link}] foo | \end{description} `---- I believe the simplest patch to solve is to wrap the item argument in braces as follows: diff --git a/lisp/ox-latex.el b/lisp/ox-latex.el index 41cf1d0..e16c62d 100644 --- a/lisp/ox-latex.el +++ b/lisp/ox-latex.el @@ -1612,7 +1612,7 @@ contextual information."
