Actually, \(\mu\text{s}\) should also work (producing an upright s, rather than the slanted s that the first example produces - personally I like the first one better). Not sure if the $ signs are causing problems: imo, it's a better idea to use the standard latex delimiters \( ... \) for inline math \[ ... \] for display math always. The html output makes use of MathJax but that should be no problem: by default, the output references the MathJax installation on orgmode.org. You might want to install on a local web server if you are going to make heavy use of it. See (info "(org) Math formatting in HTML export") for more details. -- Nick
