Hmm, good point. It looks to me like the relevant function is org-element-latex-fragment-parser, and the code for that hasn't changed much in several years (last change was 2017). (Also, I was wrong, parsing latex fragments is not done with just a regexp.) I can confirm that this function parses "$foo" in "$foo$ bar" as a latex fragment, but not in "$foo$-bar" Not sure if the problem here is the code or the documentation. Perhaps the documentation should be updated to reflect the current behavior? -- Best, Richard
