Thanks, Eric, that did the trick. The hint regarding #+LaTeX: is also useful - I had forgotten about that possibility and your point about being able to use Org syntax on the text is a good one. I tried searching for some relevant documentation on "#+LaTeX:", but failed to find anything other that the Easy Template (Google's "verbatim" search seems to use a different definition of "verbatim" to mine). Maybe it should be mentioned in the manual somewhere in the chapter "Embedded LaTeX". Cheers, Loris -- This signature is currently under construction.
