Inside org-babel code blocks, emacs matches parens incorrectly whenever different bracket types (eg <> {} []) are used. For example the following in an .org file will cause check-parens to throw an error: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (> 1 0) #+END_SRC Where in an .el it will interpret the parens correctly. This error also occurs with show-paren-mode and evil-jump-item. Thanks very much.
