I feel the need to point out that this way lies madness. The behaviour of $ in Org is /inherrently/ confusing. You=E2=80=99re confus= ed by `$...$th' and `$...$-th'. Say those were special-cased, somebody notices the work and= then try `$n$-dimensional' and now are /even more confused/ when it doesn=E2=80= =99t work. Ok, say we make `$...$' just apply in more cases, then we have somebody who writing about prices who changed `$3 or =3D$5' to `$3-$5' and now =E2=80=9C= weird things are happening=E2=80=9D. The root issue is the way that `$' tries to pull double-duty as both a lite= ral `$' and a delimiter. It=E2=80=99s all very well to say that =E2=80=9Cin LaTeX t= his is fine=E2=80=9D, however in LaTeX this /simply is not an issue/* as single dollars must be escaped a= s `\$'. We can fiddle with the heuristics, but there is no perfect solution here = =E2=80=A6 other than to move away from `$' and prioritise `\( ... \)' in our document= ation and examples, even add a linter rule that raises warnings about the tendency of dollar-math to misbehave when people use it. All the best, Timothy * It=E2=80=99s still a pain/discouraged for other reasons. --=20 Timothy (=E2=80=98tecosaur=E2=80=99/=E2=80=98TEC=E2=80=99), Org mode contri= butor.
