Dear list,
I may be under a misapprehension, but I expected the pdf output
(created by C-c C-e l p) from the attached org file to show similar
results for both lines. Instead, however, the simple
x^2
outside of the verbatim environment puts the caret above the 2 even
though I have set
#+OPTIONS: ^:nil
This seems to be because org-mode exports x^2 as x\^2 in the tex file.
I think exporting it as x\^{}2 would give a better result. Is there
another way to get the appearance I'm looking for without using the
verbatim environment?
Thanks for your advice,
Paul
PS. I'm using Emacs 24.2.1 with Org mode 8.0.2.

Try
=x^2= or ~x^2~
instead?

This should be now fixed. Thank you for reporting this.

Hi Nicolas,
Thanks for fixing that last problem, that's great!
I've also come across a couple of other unexpected results exporting
other latex equations to pdf. Examples are given in the attached org
file. Both are quite trivial with easy work-arounds. In both cases,
because the embedded png equations (displayed by C-c C-x C-l) are
formatted correctly, the problem in the exported pdf file might go
unnoticed.
Regards,
Paul

This is to be expected. In the second case, the second line defines
a list item, which has precedence over any LaTeX snippet.

I think this is because of a limitation on the number of lines a LaTeX
snippet can span across (IIRC, 3 is the maximum).
In both cases, I suggest to use LaTeX environments instead:
\begin{equation*}
x = y
+ 1
\end{equation*}
and
\begin{equation*}
x =
\begin{array}{cc}
y & u \\
z & v
\end{array}
\end{equation*}

Okay, I realised it was switching to the itemise environment, but I
didn't know it took precedence over the latex environment.

Maybe, but I see the same problem with the following two line example
\[ x =
\begin{array}{cc} z & v \end{array} \]

Yes, I tried that, but as I understand it I need to
\usepackage{amsmath} to access the latex equation* environment. But
then I get an error about "Command \iint already defined." I tried
the solution described at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=alreadydef, but it
didn't work for me.
Anyway, never mind, these are all quite trivial points.
Thanks very much for your help,
Paul

Technically, this is a latex fragment, not a latex environment (which is
what I suggested to use). The difference is that the former is inline
(i.e. it is contained in a paragraph) whereas the latter isn't.
Non-inline elements always have precedence over inline ones.

I see. This should be fixed. Thanks for insisting.

A package is conflicting with "amsmath", probably "wasysym". Try to add
"nointegrals" option to "wasysym" in `org-latex-default-packages-alist'.

Usually amsmath is good to have (and Nicolas answered on how to include
it), but if you wish to avoid it for some reason, the {displaymath}
environment does the same thing.
