Now this is interesting. I have been using LaTeX for the last 20 years or even more, always with (X)Emacs + AuCTex. While I see the benefits of org mode (especially its excellent table support) I see its deficits (in my opinion) when it comes to editing mathematical equations. Sure I can use cdlatex, a minor mode, which is very good and I use it even within auctex. But there are a lot of things cdlatex can not do, nor does it claim it could. So I am curious to know how you deal with these structures. Uwe
