Note that, (with-temp-buffer (insert "$x$") (require 'ox-latex) (org-latex-export-as-latex nil nil nil t)) => \(x\) Just out of curiosity, do you actually type \(·\) or have you somehow remapped $·$ to insert \(·\)? For me the biggest inconvenience of \(·\) is that it's tedious to type. On my keyboard, M-< S-8 M-< gives me \(\), compare to M-4 M-4 (which I could probably limit to M-4 with electric-pair-mode). Thus, I use $·$ by default. I usually just rely on whether my expression get the colored by org-latex-and-related. In most cases that's a good indicator, but it does not work with ($x$). —Rasmus -- With monopolies the cake is a lie!
