Org-mode will never be a perfect TeX scanner, and this is really hard. Help yourself and Org by using \( and \) as math delimiters when you wish to include dollar characters inside Ten-four. I'll try it when I get some time to go back and edit my source files. Wonky use of dollar signs in math doesn't explain why the following source doesn't work, though: Additionally, the following source from org-mode: `$.30(50)+.70(20)=29$` Is not converted at all by MathJax. Org-mode version 7.01trans, recent git pull from earlier this week. Aquamacs on Snow Leopard.

Wonky use of dollar signs in math doesn't explain why the following source doesn't work, though: Additionally, the following source from org-mode: `$.30(50)+.70(20)=29$` The reason here is that $.30 looks too much like currency, and Org tries hard to detect cases where is dollar in text is meant to be currency and not math. Here it fails, and also here you can use \(...\). In fact, using dollar makes parsing TeX *a lot* harder in general. HTH - Carsten Is not converted at all by MathJax.

[Orgmode] Bug: Another possible error for in-line math parsing
Carsten et al, Possible error when escaping dollar sign in inline-math. When using the following org source: -- Supposing $C_H=\$10$ and $C_L=\$20$. ... $.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$ -- The following LaTeX is produced upon publication: -- Supposing \$C$_H$=\$10\$ and \$C$_L$=\$20\$ ... \$.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$ -- Whereas the following LaTeX is expected: -- Supposing $C_H=\$10$ and $C_L=\$20\$ ... $.30(\$50)+.70(\$20)=\$29$ -- Comparing the two different lines of source, I note that in the first case the four inline math dollars are escaped when they should not be, and two extra inline math dollars are inserted. In the second case, all dollars are escaped correctly excepting the first inline math dollar. I'm obviously trying to use dollars as units in my math calculations.
