Technically, this is a latex fragment, not a latex environment (which is what I suggested to use). The difference is that the former is inline (i.e. it is contained in a paragraph) whereas the latter isn't. Non-inline elements always have precedence over inline ones. >>> \[ x = \begin{array}{cc} >>> y & u \\ >>> z & v >>> \end{array} \] >>> >>> \[ x = >>> \begin{array}{cc} >>> y & u \\ >>> z & v >>> \end{array} \] >> >> I think this is because of a limitation on the number of lines a LaTeX >> snippet can span across (IIRC, 3 is the maximum). > > Maybe, but I see the same problem with the following two line example > > \[ x = > \begin{array}{cc} z & v \end{array} \] I see. This should be fixed. Thanks for insisting. >> In both cases, I suggest to use LaTeX environments instead: >> >> \begin{equation*} >> x = y >> + 1 >> \end{equation*} > > Yes, I tried that, but as I understand it I need to > \usepackage{amsmath} to access the latex equation* environment.

A package is conflicting with "amsmath", probably "wasysym". Try to add "nointegrals" option to "wasysym" in `org-latex-default-packages-alist'. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
