Re: Bug: LaTeX in HTML export [8.3.2 (release_8.3.2-380-g64aee4 @ /home/dominik/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp/)]

Hi Rasmus,

thanks for your answer.  I asked the people from MathJax and the problem
is HTML related. =<i= is interpreted as an HTML tag by the browser.

This behavior is well known and explained in the MathJax
Documentation.

http://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/tex.html#tex-and-latex-in-html-documents

Maybe Org mode HTML export should take this into account, especially
because =<i= is used quite often?  I understand if this is not feasible.

Thanks,
Dominik
