There are two types of structures in Org syntax: inline (i.e. contained
in a paragraph) and not inline. inlined structures always belong to
a non-inlined one. Therefore, the parser always gives precedence to
non-inlined syntax over inlined one.
Thus, the following example will be a single paragraph with some maths
inside:
A paragraph with \[1+1=2\] maths.
But the following one:
A paragraph
\[1
+ 1
= 2
\]
with maths.
will be a paragraph, a list and another paragraph: "A paragraph\n\[1",
" + 1" and " = 2\n\]\nwith maths."
If \[...\] constructs were to be changed into non-inlined, the maths
snippet in the first example would not be recognized.
It is theoretically possible to make "\[...\]" both inline and
non-inline. Though, I have the feeling that it would come with its own
set of problems.

I think that a major pitfall for these users is to think that you can
wrap LaTeX syntax in Org structures. Actually, Org only supports
a limited set of LaTeX syntax.

No, you should use \begin{equation}...\end{equation} in order to make it
a full LaTeX environment. #+begin_equation is not an equation
environment, it's a special block, which can contain Org syntax (and you
don't want Org syntax here).

The last line doesn't belong to the list above. "Indenting" it at the
"x" level would actually change the structure of the list, which is more
than what a simple indentation command is allowed to do (I know about
python mode and I don't think it is a good behaviour for Org).

Honestly, it surprised me too, as I thought that every curly bracket
would be escaped. But I don't have time to look into it at the moment.

I think the behaviour is not surprising once you know that Org you can't
mix raw LaTeX and regular Org syntax without some precautions. In
particular, Org can only parse very simple LaTeX syntax, but provides
ways to deal with more more complex one.

Actually, the reason is that regexp matching a macro is:
"[a-zA-Z]+\\*?\\(\\(\\[[^][\n{}]*\\]\\)\\|\\({[^{}\n]*}\\)\\)*"
IOW, brackets (even escaped) are not allowed in the arguments of a LaTeX
macro. So the first \IEEEAuthorBlockN is correctly recognized but
\IEEEauthorblockA fails.
This is not optimal, but I think it is sufficient, since, again, Org
handles only simple raw LaTeX syntax.
[O] Run commands after html export
Greetings. I feel like a newbie most of the time when I try to do something a bit more complicated with org. And finding the solution in the manuals is often pretty hard. What I would like to do now is to automatically run some commands after I have exported an org file as html. (In particular, I want to commit to git and push changes to remote repo.) I know about publishing, but it seems like overkill for a single org file. I looked at the documentation, found hooks, and read source code, but could not find the solution. The hooks in org-export-html-final-hook seem to be run before the file is saved. I found no applicable hooks in org-exp.el. While I am at it, is there a way to set a default export type (html), or do I have to bind a new key or rebind C-c C-e? Thanks in advance - again. Jarmo
[O] Hooks org-publish-before-export-hook, org-publish-after-export-hook no longer in use?
Hello,
it appears that in org-mode 8.x the hooks org-publish-before-export-hook
and org-publish-after-export-hook are no longer used. I did a search in the
source code of org-mode 8.2.1 downloaded from
http://orgmode.org/org-8.2.1.zip, and then looked for one of the hooks
with:
find ./ -name "*.el" -exec grep -H -n "org-publish-before" '{}' \; -print
No entries were found.
Instead, the method for customizing export seems to have been changed to
accept a list of publishing functions in a project-alist:
find ./ -name "*.el" -exec grep -H -n "publishing-function" '{}' \; -print
gives the related code in lines 650-662 of file lisp/ox-publish-el.
If the above is correct, then the org-mode manual should be updated to
reflect the change, at page:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-hooks.html
Cheers,
Iannis Zannos

If I may, I think these users are better off using some of the Org
outside Org libraries.
One of Org's goals, with regards to exporters, is to be uniform across
all backends so that one can export the same document using multiple
backends without major changes. Including more and more LaTeX source
deviates from that goal.
Hope this helps,

Re: [O] Run commands after html export
Answering my own question... > What I would like to do now is to automatically run some commands > after I have exported an org file as html. I ended up circumventing the problem - that is, the exporter - by creating a code block in which I first run org-html-export-to-html and then do my git stuff.

It has definitely worked for the same message multiple times for me (even after changing a message by moving it, etc.). Since the Org mac Outlook interface uses Spotlight indexing, and Spotlight uses the loose messages in the Microsoft User Data folder, maybe rebuilding one or both of the Outlook profile or the Spotlight index would fix your issues?
Re: [O] Run commands after html export #orgmode
Hello Jarmo, it may be useful to look into the publishing scheme of org-mode. Export = export a single file Publish = publish a set of files. More extensive configuration capabilities. Can also be used to publish single file. Publish provides very extensive configuration capabilities, which include a preparation-function and a completion-function hook. The completion function can be used to ftp or rsync or otherwise copy data to the target directory. Have a look at: http://orgmode.org/worg/doc.html search for: org-publish-project-alist. In that section you will find following passage: `:publishing-function' Function to publish file. Each back-end may define its own (i.e. `org-latex-publish-to-pdf', `org-html-publish-to-html'). May be a list of functions, in which case each function in the list is invoked in turn. Another property allows you to insert code that prepares a project for publishing. For example, you could call GNU Make on a certain makefile, to ensure published files are built up to date. `:preparation-function' Function to be called before publishing this project. This may also be a list of functions. `:completion-function' Function to be called after publishing this project. This may also be a list of functions. You will find more info in the orgmode manual here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Configuration.html#Configuration and here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Sources-and-destinations.html#Sources-and-destinations and in further related parts linked-to from the above.

Re: [O] org babel before excute hook
