Hash (#), as well as several other symbols have to be espaced when used as is in LaTeX documents. See, for example, "The Not So Short Introduction to LaTeX2e", 1.3.2 Special Characters. In general it is duty of ox-latex (LaTeX export backend) to espace such characters. > [1] bit.ly/1cwYJaM --- WBR, Vladimir Lomov -- God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.
