The suggestion was to remove "$" from org-format-latex-options. I've not customized a variable with many "sub-options." Can someone give me an example of how to directly customize just the :matchers portion of that variable in .emacs? I prefer to set options directly vs. having a jumbled list of customizations in custom-set-variables. I searched around and found this: - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11272236/how-to-make-formule-bigger-in-org-mode-of-emacs It gives instructions on setting the :scale portion, which I tried to adapt to :matchers like this: (setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options :matchers ("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\["))) As well as this: (setq org-format-latex-options (plist-put org-format-latex-options :matchers "("begin" "$1" "$$" "\\(" "\\[")")) Both of those aren't parsing correctly.

The above is, indeed, what it was. How might one set it via the single property method in the StackOverflow post? I can certainly do the above, though I only want to customize :matchers, so perhaps it's a bit unnecessary? I can't imagine the above biting me, but I could see that someone might want to just target one property in the event that, say, they want to override one of the above at buffer level and that somehow conflicts with the whole set of properties existing in .emacs (just brainstorming...)?

I realize I'm pretty horrible at following through on my Worg aspirations... but perhaps I can file this and some other things like this to help others with customization of variables. Some of these syntax things seem to appear with reasonable frequency and cause us non-elispers definite confusion. I could see a page on setting .emacs options as helpful. Come to think of it, I probably should have googled for more general Emacs customization information. Anyway, many thanks for the quick response and assistance!
