Giovannie, thanks very much for the reply. Your solution works well for latex export.
Is there a way to make it work for the HTML export too? I thought MathJax would take care of converting it to appropriate html file. While \pi_g is appropriately converted, \geq is not. Also, \( \) remain in the HTML. Perhaps, I am asking for too much and please let me know if that is so. But if there is a way to write math in such a way that it is compatible with both html and latex, I would like to learn it. Thanks again.
