Hi,
I'm running into a similar issue as I once did before: - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/50452 When I'm writing a paragraph and have a dollar currency amount, Org's footnote functionality (e.g. =C-x f=) does not work in the region. The suggestion was to remove "$" from org-format-latex-options. I've not customized a variable with many "sub-options." Can someone give me an example of how to directly customize just the :matchers portion of that variable in .emacs? I prefer to set options directly vs. having a jumbled list of customizations in custom-set-variables. I searched around and found this: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11272236/how-to-make-formule-bigger-in-org-mode-of-emacs It gives instructions on setting the :scale portion, which I tried to adapt to :matchers like this: (setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options :matchers ("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\["))) As well as this: (setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options :matchers "("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")")) Both of those aren't parsing correctly. Sorry for my elisp munging ignorance! Thanks! John
