Hi all,
I've a link like
[[https://foo.com/bar_baz.html][https://foo.com/bar_baz.html]] that,
once rendered in LaTeX, is converted to a subscript like
bar\textsubscript{baz}.
Is there a way to prevent this?

I settled on adding an OPTION line to my org file to disable this behavior, since the documents I'm working on rarely need subscripts and I can use the LaTeX form when I do need to specify them.

#+OPTIONS: toc:nil H:3 num:nil ^:nil

The last part forces the export to recognize just the LaTeX form of specifying subscripts.

[[info:org#Export Settings][org#Export Settings]]

‘^’

     Toggle TeX-like syntax for sub- and superscripts.  If you write

     ‘^:{}’, ‘a_{b}’ is interpreted, but the simple ‘a_b’ is left as it

     is (‘org-export-with-sub-superscripts’).
