Hi Jorge,
thanks for your suggestion. The reason that made me try :wrap EQUATION
instead of :wrap LaTeX is that the former still produces an output even
with other back-ends, while the latter only produces an output with LaTeX
and nothing with other back-ends.
If org-mode does not recognize math environments and always surrounds sub-
and superscripts with $ signs with no way to stop this, then it essentially
stops people from using numbered equations and still preserving the
capability to export in multiple formats.
Org-mode is great, but I find that this sounds as problematic for people
writing texts including a lot of mathematical expressions.
I guess I will have to dig into filters.
Regards,
Fede
