Hi Tom, Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly. I didn't mean that I'd like to see small caps in the org buffer. What I meant is that I'd prefer to see something like [[latex:textsc][My small caps]], as opposed to it all magically being covered up with an overlay displaying "My small caps". With the overlay, I've no idea that it is a special markup, and not some form of link. Dan
