Inline LaTeX, and Environments are indeed different. I failed to consider that
there may be additional complications if switching an inline environment to an
environment. Quite frankly I’m not too sure how org handles an environment in
the middle of a line. I’ll do some quick tests.

I was also referring to \( \) → \[ \] (inline to inline) as something one could
well want to change, in which case I don’t think this is a concern.

Lastly, I feel like it may be a good idea to give some example

---

inline → inline

::INITIAL
\(\epsilon_0 = \binom{n}{b} \sqrt{\alpha_2 + \frac{\partial z}{\partial x \partial y}} ... \)g
::CHANGE INLINE STYLE
\[\epsilon_0 = \binom{n}{b} \sqrt{\alpha_2 + \frac{\partial z}{\partial x \partial y}} ... \]
::END

inline → environment

::INITIAL
\[ \alpha = \psi(0) \quad \beta = \psi(1) \quad \gamma = \psi(2) \]
::CHANGE STYLE

\begin{align*}
  \alpha &= \psi(0) \\
  \beta &= \psi(1) \\ 
  \psi &= \psi(2)
\end{align*}

::END

However this ends up being implemented, I think it would be good not to prevent
the user from making these changes in the pop-up edit buffer.

To be honest I don’t quite see this point, in both cases it’s just a LaTeX buffer…
