cdlatex inline math expansion not working under recent org mode #78

Description

@michaelstats

This is not necessarily an issue with cdlatex itself, rather I think a problem with recent changes in org mode itself which seem to break cdlatex a bit.

With older org mode (e.g. 9.6.30), typing a single dollar would be enough to indicate "we are entering math now" and so cdlatex expansions would work, e.g. typing

$fr<TAB>

would expand to

$\frac{}{}

with point inside the first pair of curly brackets. With more recent org mode (e.g. 9.7.11) this no longer works, <TAB> does nothing. I have tried this with a minimal init file (only loading auctex and cdlatex) so I am confident it is not the result of some other weird customisations of mine (although you never know). The same thing happens if instead I type

\(fr<TAB>

but things are fine in more structured environments like align, etc. I am guessing it is something to do with org--math-p or some such.

My question is: are you aware of this issue? Can you replicate it? Is there a workaround, or are you aware of plans (in the org team) to make changes which fix this? I know I should probably also raise this with the org team but I wanted to check with you first.

Much thanks,

Michael
