Hi all. I try to put a superscript in org-mode in this way: T^{+}. But
it gets exported in latex as $^{\st{}$. Any idea how to avoid it?
Thanks.

That's from reading Lamport's book: sec 3.3 and Appendix E (the "Miscellaneous" section); I have not checked the code. I prefer \(...\) and (iirc) sometimes that has worked when $...$ has not, but I don't remember the context; afaik those (rare) situations were deemed to be bugs in the exporter and have all been fixed.

Org-mode is sophisticated about it as long as you follow a few safeguards -- from the Info section 11.7.3: To avoid conflicts with currency specifications, single `$' characters are only recognized as math delimiters if the enclosed text contains at most two line breaks, is directly attached to the `$' characters with no whitespace in between, and if the closing `$' is followed by whitespace, punctuation or a dash. For the other delimiters, there is no such restriction, so when in doubt, use `\(...\)' as inline math delimiters. But note that MathJax, the preferred backend for math in Org's HTML exports, does not support $...$ by default.

Oops, I should have guessed. I just remembered having to fiddle with my MathJax configuration at one point, but that was probably before Org even switched from dvipng to MathJax as default. > Still, parsing $...$ is much harder than parsing \(..\), so most of the time, using \(//\) will give better and more stable results with Org-mode.
