Hello, the attached org file illustrates a problem with the latex exporter in which any line within a \begin{equation}...\end{equation} that begins with a + or - is interpreted as a list item.
It's easy enough to avoid this problem by either reformatting the lines in question or by enclosing the equation block in a LATEX org block. Therefore, there's no urgency in addressing this bug. Thanks, eric
