The problem is not that it does not work: of course it does. The problem is
that it is too closely tied to latex - forget about exporting it to HTML or
any other format.

Thanks for the pointer - I'll have to try to remember this for future
reference (but we all know how that will work out for me :-) ). However,
in this case, the problem is not the recognition of the environment: the
latex exporter seems to mangle the link that follows. So far, the only
thing that has worked is actually hacking org-latex to insinuate the
\raisebox in the proper place.

Thanks,
Nick
