Disabling overstrike (+) inside formulas

Disabling overstrike (+) inside formulas

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

I have LaTeX macros in which I regularly use a plus sign in a
parameter. This is currently interpreted as an attempt to overstrike in
org:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
* testing
  $1\text{+}2$ creates an overstrike $\text{+}$
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Would it be possible to turn off (by default) the interpretation of +
as an overstrike delimiter inside a formula?

All the best,

Jarmo

Conditionally disabling it should be possible using filters, but I think
it can be very clunky and could break from time to time.  If you do not
use strike-throughs, I would suggest turning it off entirely.  I think
(my Org-foo is a bit rusty) you can do that by removing it from
`org-emphasis-alist'.

Hope this helps,
