1. I am making a table of conditional probabilities. This means the
table headers look like this: p(e|\omega), for example. The vbar in the
header confuses orgmode. It thinks that's a column-delimiter. Adding a
prefix \ does not help. Is there a work around? For the moment I put
\newcommand{\vbar}{|} in a latex block and use \vbar in place of |.
Works, but makes the table a little less readable than I'd like.
more importantly:
2. I put an eqnarray* environment in my org file. The equation breaks
across multiple lines so it looks like this:
\begin{eqnarray*}
x &=& blah blah blah \\
&=& blah blah blah \\
&=& blah blah blah \\
\end{eqnarray*}
org-mode quotes (backslashes) the &=& so they don't get interpreted
correctly. Is there something I can do to keep that from happening?
thanks!
Robert

A quick follow up to this one. The bug does NOT occur if I substitute
eqnarray for eqnarray*. I believe that this means that the constant
org-latex-entities in org-latex.el needs to be modified to admit the
starred (unnumbered) variants of the latex math operators.
Unfortunately, my simple-minded attempt to butcher in stars has run
aground on the shoals of my ignorance of the combination of emacs-lisp
string escapes, and emacs regexpressions. Simply adding
"\\begin{eqnarray*}"
to that list won't work, and even
"\\begin{eqnarray\\*}"
doesn't seem to do the right thing. if anyone can put me on the right
track, I'll try to provide a patch.
Thanks!

\vert, as pointed out by Giovanni.

This is a bug, fixed now, thanks.
