It's generally the opposite: working in Org is a pleasant journey for me... except when there are dozens of "/" and "*" in a document, and they placed in 'unhappy' positions. For example, in phonetics the "/ ... /" notation is used a lot, and there may be cases like: #+begin_example /foo/ /bar/ /baz/ #+end_example In grammar the asterisk is also used a lot, to designate that a term is not attested or to indicate that it is ungrammatical: #+begin_example *foo *bar *baz #+end_example And we can even have the combination of both: #+begin_example /*foo/ /*bar/ /*baz/ #+end_example And in certain cases, they are usually expressed in italics. With these landscapes, it's worth having a few entities rather than working from pure LaTeX, which is more accurate, but horribly more verbose. This is a page from a book I typesetted a couple of years ago (when the pandemic started), entirely from Org: https://i.imgur.com/f6X7qLs.png Best regards, Juan Manuel
