Agreed.  For my use case, this is not a major issue, mind you, as my
preferred export route is to PDF via LaTeX...

Again, agreed, but this will require a more general approach to the
handling of e.g. latex blocks for export to other languages.  Not easy,
I would guess, unless we make more use of conversion to png for blocks.

Thanks again,
