I understand, but this example doesn't help, since it can't justify the need for any additional mechanism you're suggesting. >> There's already such a mechanism: it's called "filters".

Filters are end-user tools used to tweak output from back-ends (that is a string to string process). > I'm vying for a way to syntactically tie stuff that needs to go before > the element (and maybe wrap around it) so that it's recognized as part > of that element and not part of another, unrelated element. That's too vague. It depends on the type of element, the level at which you want to tie stuff (in Org buffer, in the parse tree, just before export) and the frequency at which you'll need it. In most cases, I imagine adding #+LATEX: (or any other appropriate keyword) around the element is enough. Regards,
