So, if I understand correctly (and if I read line 1981 in org-latex.el
correctly, from Org 7.4), ~verbatim~ and =code= are exported
identically, using \texttt{}?
I stumbled upon this when I was writing a document with the following
character sequence: !--dar--
When I exported to LaTeX and then processed the file, the
\texttt{!--dar--} wound up collapsing the two hyphens into a single
hyphen (or an en-dash; hard to tell in the tt font). Of course, that
behavior *doesn't* happen when the string is preceded by the \verb
command in LaTeX.
Do I have other options for marking up verbatim inline content?
