I wrote the following line in org-mode, which contains two equations. $(Z^{*}_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^{*}_{m}, \cdot m)$ But the org-mode didn't identify them as equations. Instead, it highlight the part between the two *s, i.e. }_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^{, making this part bold. Is this a bug of org-mode or my own mistake? FYI, if the braces enclosing the "*" are removed (like below)org-mode can parse it correctly. $(Z^*_{m}, \cdot m)$ $(Z^*_{m}, \cdot m)$ -- Regards, Zihan, Sheldon Liu ------------------------ The Media Computing Group (MCG) where Media Spectrum unleashes Digital Potential for Fun in Life.
