Note that filling/auto-filling will never put you in this situation, since Org has a protection mechanism. IOW, if you end up with a list marker at the beginning of a line, it's your fault. > let me ask one more time if it would be possible to escape the beginning > of line (most likely and the obvious choices given Org's history would > be ":" or ",") in a general fashion Be careful here. ": " at a beginning of a line defines a fixed-width area. It is an element and, therefore, would have precedence over your math snippet. In this case, fontification will warn you. Adding comma escaping in an object would be complicated because of filling. It would also add even more problems. So, no, there needn't be a protection mechanism in inline math snippets. Also, let me remind you that, LaTeX-wise, "-2" is equivalent to "- 2". So, you can avoid that list marker problem pretty easily. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
