If we allow \[...\] constructs to be an element, they cannot be recognized as such within paragraphs. So Some text \[1+1\] and some other text will not be recognized anymore, even though any latex editing mode supports it. Again, I think it's not worth loosing it. Also, using \begin{...}...\end{...} environments is not really an issue with editing facilities in Emacs (e.g., yasnippets). Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
