I wrote the following line in org-mode, which contains two equations.
$(Z^{*}_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^{*}_{m}, \cdot m)$
But the org-mode didn't identify them as equations. Instead, it highlight
the part between the two *s, i.e. }_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^{, making this part
bold. Is this a bug of org-mode or my own mistake?
FYI, if the braces enclosing the "*" are removed (like below)org-mode can
parse it correctly.
$(Z^*_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^*_{m}, \cdot m)$

Is this with the new exporter? I tried the old one just now, and it did this correctly in both cases….

AFAIU, the OP is not talking of export, only of how it's visible in the Org
buffer itself.
It's true that the equation is not shown as it should (in this case) because
`*' are interpreted as bold markers.
Best regards,
Seb

Indeed, it is wrongly showed in the emacs buffer, before exporting. FYI,
I'm use org-mode 7.8

Ah, OK. Sorry for the Noise. Difficult to fix, this would require a better parser.
One work-around would be to use \ast for the star..

Thanks. I forgot to mention that it also wrongly parsed when exporting to
html at my place.
