branch: externals/org
commit 07ea7fc4432185b2edaeb170ac2ef66a5c20e5ef
Author: Max Nikulin <manikulin@gmail.com>
Commit: Ihor Radchenko <yantar92@posteo.net>

    org-manual.org: $n$-th is not math
    
    * doc/org-manual.org (LaTeX fragments): Do not state that dash is
    allowed after single "$" math delimiter and recommend "\(...\)".
    
    Detection of "$-" as closing math delimiters has been broken since 2015
    as a side effect of using punctuation class in regular expressions while
    dash is considered as a word constituent.  See commits
    6779f8f424 and c0369a7984.  Bring the manual in accordance to the code
    instead of allowing "($-2 change)" false positives.  Users who do not
    like "\(...\)" constructs may use a helper for typing it and may change
    how it is displayed to minimize visual noise by fontification, see
