Hello, Unlike some other #+ directives, the #+constants: one has to be at column 0 or else it is not understood/parsed by org. This has consequences for lists. See attached example.
#+TITLE: examplebug.org #+AUTHOR: Eric S Fraga * Table constants Assume that I have a list: 1. and in this list, one of the entries is a table 2. This is the table #+constants: param=-5 | | X | Y | | ! | x | y | |---+---+----| | # | 1 | -4 | | # | 2 | -3 | | # | 3 | -2 | #+TBLFM: $3=$x+$param 1. The constants line cannot be indented as it is not understood if it is. 2. This means that the list has been interrupted.
Obviously, I can move the constants line elsewhere and/or use the $ directive within the table but I thought that this was an inconsistency in the parsing of org files? Maybe not? Org up to date and verified with emacs -Q. Thanks, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.3.50.2, Org release_8.2.5h-687-g9d39aa
