I believe you, but apparently I still haven't really understood the point of the advice. For example, I would think it's expected behaviour that "`a" in a string produces "\(\alpha\)" with CDLaTeX; indeed, so far I thought it was just a bug that it didn't! Likewise, that a standalone `a produces \alpha instead of \(\alpha\). Why is this not expected behaviour in Org? Tony -- Tony Zorman | https://tony-zorman.com/
