Well, if you are lucky enough to have a static presentation that will cover the past and present as well as the future, fine. But most of mine are templates that incorporate the latest set of numbers: the old pdf will not cut it. I suspect that most people do something similar at least some of the time. It is then that that (mostly forgotten) update from a couple of weeks ago that broke backwards compatibility will bite. >> I generally put displays in separate paragraphs, I rarely use >> autofill[fn:1] and I'm happy to do M-q on individual paragraphs instead, >> but if I happen to do it on the wrong paragraph (backtraces, code >> fragments, displayed equations), undo is easy enough. > > The problem with that is that a displayed equation should NOT start a > new paragraph (in the generated LaTeX file).
