Only some export back-ends can tell the difference between \(...\) and \[...\], so in the context of Org, they are the same. > Do you have a short summary or a pointer why \[...\] has been choosen > to be an inline element? Yes: habit. Also, I don't think LaTeX treats it as a block element. E.g., text \[1+1=3\] text is a single paragraph in LaTeX. > What's the advantage or what would be the downside of making it > a block element? If it's a block element, you cannot write \[...\] mid-line. Such constructs must start at the beginning of the line, barring some initial indentation. Also, they would end the current paragraph, so the example above would generate three paragraphs. The advantage, at least for some users, is that they are not subjects to filling, and can contain empty lines. This is already provided by \begin{equation*}...\end{equation*} LaTeX environments.
