[O] protect slash - suppress markup

[Lasse Bombien]

Hi,

first of all: thanks for org-mode. I'm still new to it but love it already.

Now, I need to find a way to produce sentences like "The phonemes /l/ and /n/ 
…" in my exported documents. However, org-mode of course transforms strings 
enclosed in slashes to emphasized text. This is usually great, but in my area 
slashes are used as brackets for phonological transcripts. Is there a way to 
locally suppress slashes from being interpreted as markup characters (I tried 
backslashing and double slashes…) or an entirely different way to accomplish 
this (I tried: #+MACRO: phonem /$1/ …)?

I looked in the manual and the list archive but could find anything. If I 
missed something, I apologize.

Thanks in advance,
Lasse
