You underestimate my pessimism :-) I had no doubt that you can get rid
of specific artifacts using specific filters like this - you could after
all, run a sed script on the latex output and get rid of this stuff - it
wouldn't be an org-only solution, but that's OK in my book.
I hope you are ultimately successful in producing exams that look
exactly like you want them, using these mechanisms. But I have my doubts
- you have won a battle, but the war is still raging afaict. OTOH, if
you prove me wrong, I would be delighted!
