As the title says, inline math snippets such as $x+1$ are replaced during org latex export by \(x+1\). But, no one is writing inline math in LaTex files like this. Is there a way to tell Org to leave my dollars alone?
Context: the LaTeX file is collaborative and people are simply not used to \(...\) syntax.
You can hack away a fix by executing the following after loading ox-latex:
(defun org-latex-math-block (_math-block contents _info)
"Transcode a MATH-BLOCK object from Org to LaTeX.
CONTENTS is a string. INFO is a plist used as a communication
channel."
(when (org-string-nw-p contents)
(format "$%s$" (org-trim contents))))
This means every LaTeX export, for all of your files, will use $$ instead of \( ). More portable solutions would define a new derived backend.
For instructions, see: https://orgmode.org/manual/Advanced-Export-Configuration.html
Either @@latex:$x+1$@@ or src_latex{$x+1$} should work.
