Aloha Tom,

Aloha all,

The default value of org-export-latex-emphasis-alist treats the = and ~ delimiters as \\verb. Both settings are ignored because org- export-latex-use-verb is nil by default. The = and ~ delimiters produce \texttt{} instead of \verb. This patch distinguishes = and ~ by changing the default for = to \\texttt{%s}.

The docstring has also been changed to refer to org-export-latex-use- verb.

With this patch, users exporting to LaTeX will be able to use = for \texttt text in LaTeX moving environments and ~ for \verb text in places where it is safe to use this construct.

This is a pretty good patch, but I think we should still modify it.
Org users traditionally use =stuff= to mark code pieces, and I think
it is still important to escape special characters like ^ and ~ and others.

The modified patch below does the following:

- Like your patch, it makes Org use \\verb for the ~...~ emphasis.
- For =...= emphasis, it uses a new keyword \\protectedtexttt.
  This will protect special characters and then do texttt.  And I
have extended the protection to include multiple hyphens by converting
  "--" to "-{}-".

Do you agree with this solution?

- Carsten
