Remember to cover the basics, that is, what you expected to happen and what in fact did happen. You don't know how to make a good report? See
https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback Your bug report will be posted to the Org mailing list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Org-mode seems to support environment-based math formulas. However, when using pmatrix, the buffer *Org PDF LaTeX Output* always shows an error when exporting to PDF via LaTeX. This even happens for the simplest of matrices: \begin{pmatrix} 0 \end{pmatrix} An org file with only these 3 lines of content is sufficient for reproducing the bug. Upon typing "C-c C-e l p", the error message "PDF file produced with errors." is shown in the mini buffer. The buffer *Org PDF LaTeX Output* shows this error message: ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ l.31 \begin{pmatrix} (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/umsa.fd) (/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/latex/amsfonts/umsb.fd) ! Missing $ inserted. <inserted text> $ l.33 \end{pmatrix} The formula is displayed perfectly well in the resulting PDF. Even when using complicated matrices, this is the case. They are copied to the LaTeX file verbatim and the PDF is produced just as expected.
