Hi all,
The example that the OP uses reveals a bug (I believe).
If you type the below in an org-mode buffer:
call the /static/ method =something(/$with/, /$param/)=
you see that the $with and $param are italicized even when they are surrounded by verbatim markers (doesn't matter what the value of org-emphasis-hide-markers is).
The export of that to HTML and LaTeX works fine.
That led me to try to find a solution to get italicized code/verbatim blocks in HTML/LaTeX exports but I couldn't find a way to do it.
