But shouldn't org be consistent with LaTeX. In both org-mode and LaTeX I
would write an in-line equation as $1+3=3$ and not as \[1+2=3\]. I would
reserve the latter for an unlabelled block equation. As has been said,
\[ is an alias for \begin{equation*}. For me, I would rather not write
equations in org-mode differently from LaTeX.

Best wishes,

Colin Baxter.
