You can already use \(inline math\). I don't think there is
a need for extra syntax.


Ah. Neat. I was unaware of this. That should do it. I'd still kind of prefer not to have to tweak around with stuff. Given that special combinations of "\" + "char" are LaTeX specific, it would seem that a natural combination would be to activate such combinations when LaTeX:t is used in #+options.

Your solution will work for me for now.

Thanks for the assistance!
John
