Doing [Ins] into the dvipng (or imagemagick) section 3. typing :latex-header in the Key: field 4. typing "\\input{./symbols.tex}" in the Value: field After I did that, some symbols would export correctly, but others would not. I was not importing any LaTeX packages within that file. I use this file to export PDF (through LaTeX: C-c C-e l p). One of the things that did not work was the matrix environment. I thought that it was better to start a new question regarding the matrix, because I thought it was independent of the symbols. This is related to the following: >> For the record, I had modified org-preview-latex-process-alist to get >> custom symbols, and this got in the way of the LaTeX bmatrix >> environment (I don't know how; I was loading a file with >> with :latex-header as "\\input{preamble.tex}"). >> >> My partial answer (it is partial, because the \tensor preview renders >> in a different color than the rest of symbols): Instead of modifying >> org-preview-latex-process-alist, the answer I modified >> org-format-tex-header.

I don't really know how to modify org-latex-packages-alist to have a latex command like this in my tex file: \newcommmand{\mysymbol}[1]{\mathrm{my_{#1}}} I do have a bunch of packages with custom options over there :P ! > > So, is there a bug in the ODT export back-end?

I don't know what a ECM is :S , sorry. I typed ECM emacs on a web search engine, and only got ECB. Is it the same? If you are willing to tell me how to get one, I'll do my best. Right now, I am having a glitch on the screen. I get some of my custom symbols in black (all the others are in light gray) on a black background (my screen has a black background; see attached picture: there is an I with two tildes underneath next to the p). I would like to know if you or someone else can help me to get a light gray on that symbol too. I suspect that it may have to do with the stackengine (LaTeX) package, because all of my other symbols are doing well. This is the snippet of code that I have in org-format-latex-header to define the \tensor symbol \newcommand{\tensor}[1]{ \stackunder[0pt]{\stackunder[1pt]{#1}{\scriptscriptstyle\sim}}{\scriptscriptstyle\sim}} I also opened a new emacs with -Q, did a (require 'org), yanked my configuration of org-format-latex-header and created a new Org file. Then, changed the theme to a dark one and I typed $\tensor{F}$ $a$. For the $\tensor{F}$ I get a white square with a black font face. For the $a$ I get the same set of colors as the theme (dark background, light-gray font face). Thank you a lot for you time!
