Hi Vincent,

Sorry about this. Yet I've configured my editor to automatically removing
trailing whitespaces while saving a file. Apparently two of them went
through...

You are right!

Probably it depends, but if you want to have nice labels (in particular
labels that coincide with the symbols used in the main text of your
article or labels with subscripts or Greek letters), LaTeX seems
mandatory. So I would favor the math mode. Maybe lowered to 1.6 as a
compromise?...
Eric.
