When I tried to type table between \between \end blocks, for example
\begin{pmatrix}
\* table contents *\
\end{pmatrix}

The table contents are not recognized. For instance, I can't use Tab to
go to next line. It turns out the result of org-at-table-p is nil. I
deleted all my configurations, but it doesn't get recognized as well.
I'm quite new to emacs, and I can't figure out why. Any instructions on
solving the problem or how to debug is appreciated. Thanks for your assistance!

This is because text between \begin{...}...\end{...} is considered
verbatim LaTeX - Org mode markup is not recognized inside. Instead, Org
will pass the whole text inside this "latex environment" directly to
LaTeX, without any processing. (see https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html)

If you want to enter Org mode table, you should _not_ use LaTeX
\begin{...}...\end{...} markup.

In short, if you want Org table features, use Org markup for tables.

Feel free to ask anything if you still feel confused.

Not a bug.
Canceled.
