Re: [Orgmode] Exporting to HTML - underscores cause unwanted sub-script

[Daniel J. Sinder]

For the record, you can also "fix" this problem using the following 
file-local customization:

#+OPTIONS:   ^:{}

I'm a regular LaTeX user, but find that escaping underscores (with 
'\') gets tedious when cutting and pasting multiple file names 
and/or variable names that include them.

With the above option, "before_after" is left as is, while 
"before_{after}" has "after" set as a subscript.  See section 12.2 
of the documentation.
