With an org file containing only #+begin_export latex $x \text{foo $y$}$ \(x \text{foo \(y\)}\) $x \text{foo \(y\)}$ \(x \text{foo $y$}\) #+end_export the pdf generated upon latex export gives as expected, i.e., with 'x' and 'y' in mathematical font. Maybe this is fully normal, but I find it annoying: when the 4 lines above are not within a latex block, only the last 2 (that is, with mixed "$...$" and "\(...\)" constructs), are shown correctly on the resulting pdf. The 1st one shows, on the pdf $x foo y$ (with 'y' in mathematical font). The 2nd one (if alone in the org file) gives File "/home/cochard/Org/debug.pdf" wasn’t produced. See "*Org PDF LaTeX Output*" for details PS/incidentally: if one adds a blank line and another line to that 2nd one, i.e., if the org file contains something like \(x \text{foo \(y\)}\) foo then a pdf is generated, which shows x foo The *Messages* buffer contains PDF file produced with errors. Running /usr/bin/xdg-open /home/cochard/Org/debug.pdf...done but only the last of those lines is seen in the minibuffer.
