Hi Omid It looks like orgtbl-to-latex is calling org-export-string-as on each table cell, which is presumably what is wrapping each \mu inside $$. This seems wrong-headed to me, but I can't say I really understand what the code is trying to achieve.
A workaround would be to directly use orgtbl-to-generic instead. Just replace your ORGTBL line with #+ORGTBL: SEND Ah-advection orgtbl-to-generic :splice t :skip 0 :lend " \\\\" :sep " & " Will On Fri, Apr 3, 2015 at 8:52 PM, Omid <omidl...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I'm trying to use an Org mode Radio Table in LaTeX according to: > > http://orgmode.org/manual/Radio-tables.html > http://orgmode.org/manual/A-LaTeX-example.html#A-LaTeX-example > > My Org mode table is representing a matrix containing Greek letters > denoted by LaTeX commands (e.g., \mu).
