Subject: 26.1; Latex inline math syntax highlighting problem
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2018 12:34:19 +0530

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Create any 'tex' file, say 'a.tex'.
Start emacs by executing 'emacs -Q'
Visit the tex file with emacs.

Paste the following
${{{{a}}}}$

The syntax highlighting will not work.

Another (real life) example
$t = \frac{\hat{\beta}_{1} - \beta_{1}}{\sqrt{\frac{\sigma^{2}}{n}
\frac{\sum X_{i}^{2}}{\sum x_{i}^{2}}}}$

It seems that upto three nested '{}', the syntax highlighting is
working.
But beyond that it is not.
