In Lamport's book on Latex he explains that \[...\] is for display style maths, that is, for maths that is not inside a paragraph but presented on it's own line. Inside a paragraph one should use $...$ or \(...\) as they are for inline equations (and Latex treats them the same). For display style maths Latex uses \begin{displaymath} ... \end{displaymath} and, for less typing, \[ ... \] and both are treated the same, ie., both produce the exact same output in the processed latex document. This being the case, my wish would be to see org mode treat \[ ... \] the same as \begin{displaymath} ... \end{displaymath} and not fill past it's boundaries. Kind regards, Paul
