* The observed behavior
Inside a list item cdlatex-tab isn't considered. An example:
To circumvent emacs' fill-paragrah issue with \[ \] I prefer using a
inline math environment in a single item list. Unfortunately cdlatex
isn't considered when hitting TAB then
- $y = a_0 + a_{1[TAB]}$ .
Emacs echos "EMPTY ENTRY" instead. The same line without the leading
list item qualifier works fine. This line
$y = a_0 + a_{1[TAB]}$
results in
$y = a_0 + a_1$ .
* The reason
In org.el in org-cycle a `cond' statement dispatches is done when
TAB is pressed. The call to `org-try-cdlatex-tab' is part of
this dispatch. Before `cond' reaches this entry it reaches the
one which determines whether or not the current context is a list
item. Since this is true here, `cond' is satified and never
considers `org-try-cdlatex-tab'. The entry calls
`org-cycle-internal-local' which then emits the "EMPTY ENTRY"
message.
* What I expected
Lets considering the case that there is a sub-item.
- $y = a_0 + a_{1}$
+ foo
I expect cdlatex-tab to be tried first. If it's nothing cdlatex
can reason about, expand/collapse the list. For
- $y = a_0 + a_{1[TAB]}$
+ foo
turns into
- $y = a_0 + a_1$
+ foo
Another TAB
- $y = a_0 + a_1[TAB]$
+ foo
turns it into
- $y = a_0 + a_1$...
