[Bump] Dear Thibault, dear list, thanks for your fast answer, Thibault! I am happy to have convinced you of dropping the extra \n's. The patch you addressed works fine for the asterisk issue: Only those environments get an extra asterisk which are in org-latex-math-environments-re. Nonetheless, I think we should make that variable more user-friendly by not requiring one huge regexp but a list of environment names like ("foo" "bar" "baz"). Unfortunately, the patch does not have any impact on the numbering problem. I guess we actually need org-html--latex-environments-leave-unlabelled to get this running. I just wanna give two examples why it is not useful to lable every environment. 1. Imagine you do not need links to your equations and use the \tag command in your equation environment to get the right equation numbers within the svg. This looks nicer anyway because the font is the same and the formatting is perfect. If we did not have org-html--latex-environments-leave-unlabelled, there would be both the line number within the equation and, below it, another in-text-line-number on a new line. Same goes for the figure-environment which provides its own caption. In general, everything that has its own counter within the svg should not receive extra equation numbers. 2. There are some environments you do not want labelled. Imagine you compile a table summarizing the most important formulas of your post. This is not an equation and it should not be numbered, but it is. Below the table then is a number which looks awful. You will find an example of the problem here: https://uni-muenster.sciebo.de/s/8gW9dCx7q8NHIeV [https://uni-muenster.sciebo.de/apps/files_sharing/publicpreview?file=/line_numbers.png&t=8gW9dCx7q8NHIeV&x=200&y=200] sciebo - www.hochschulcloud.nrw line_numbers.png is publicly shared uni-muenster.sciebo.de Since I am in the position of setting up a blog just now, I can only stress this variable is needed. I wish I could help you with the code more than I have done with my suggestions. But maybe some one else on the list has an idea?

My memory is quite fuzzy on this and I won't have a chance to take a deep look until later, but I will try to share the information I have.

Any LaTeX environment name foo is changed to foo* (except it already ends with an asterisk). For example, \begin{tabular} is changed to \begin{tabular*}; same for \end{tabular}. But tabular* differs from tabular in needing an extra width-argument, so the export won’t work properly. I had submitted a patch trying to address this (https://list.orgmode.org/87h7ok3qi2.fsf@dell-desktop.WORKGROUP/, I have attached a new version rebased on main to this message). It never made it in and I failed to follow-up. This patch (or something similar) could help with this issue. It basically only adds the star for math environments (using org-html--math-environment-p) [...] Now the newline commands \n before and after %s are exported as whitespace. Just replacing \n%s\n by %s (that is, leaving the newlines out) solves the problem. HTML ignores newlines anyway. This seems to work better indeed; the \n's were just cosmetic. [...] 1 Create a new variable ox-html-latex-environments-no-number of the form ("foo" "bar" "baz" ...), which contains all environments that should not receive equation numbers. I don't know whether org-html--math-environment-p (as used in the attached patch) is sufficient to determine whether we need to add a star to the environment or if we need another variable (in my use cases, testing for a match environment is sufficient but it may not be the case in general). [...] I don’t know how to express in elisp what is in brackets, though. Does this make sense to you? I am a beginner with elisp, so I can only state the ideas I have but not implement them (yet). This can be made to work if there is a consensus that we want to add a ox-html-latex-environments-no-number variable (I can try to help with that if needed, even though my elisp isn't great) [...] (let ((formula-link (org-html-format-latex (org-html--unlabel-latex-environment latex-frag) processing-type info))) The patch should address that, I would be curious to see if you encounter additional problematic cases after applying it. Thanks for resurrecting this and for your help detecting and fixing the issues. Best, thibault
