Org-mode has its own markup. As a bonus to people used to LaTeX, it allows certain LaTeX constructs to be intermingled into the file. For LaTeX export, it will export these *literally*, the entire construct. For HTML export, you can arrange for these snippets to be processed by LaTeX as well and then included as images, this is useful for formulas and some other constructs. Here is a way to fool it: \nop{}\begin{center} - /a/ this is a - /b/ this is b \begin{itemize} \item \emph{a} this is a \item \emph{b} this is b \end{itemize} \nop{}\end{center} - /a/ this is a - /b/ this is b Why does it fool it? Because it recognized full environments to be included by \begin ... \end, wit these macros at the beginning of the line. If I were to allow what you propose, it would quickly become hard to know what should be LaTeX and what not. I think. Feel free to try to make a patch that will convince me of the opposite. - Carsten On Apr 16, 2009, at 3:09 PM, Chris Gray wrote: > Carsten Dominik wrote: > >> Hi Chris, > >> you can't have the cake and eat it. > >> if you insert a LaTeX environment, the entire environment >> will be protected.
