Aloha all,
The default value of org-export-latex-emphasis-alist treats the =
and ~ delimiters as \\verb. Both settings are ignored because org-
export-latex-use-verb is nil by default. The = and ~ delimiters
produce \texttt{} instead of \verb. This patch distinguishes = and
~ by changing the default for = to \\texttt{%s}.
The docstring has also been changed to refer to org-export-latex-
use-verb.
With this patch, users exporting to LaTeX will be able to use = for
\texttt text in LaTeX moving environments and ~ for \verb text in
places where it is safe to use this construct.
This is a pretty good patch, but I think we should still modify it.
Org users traditionally use =stuff= to mark code pieces, and I think
it is still important to escape special characters like ^ and ~ and
others.
The modified patch below does the following:
- Like your patch, it makes Org use \\verb for the ~...~ emphasis.
- For =...= emphasis, it uses a new keyword \\protectedtexttt.
This will protect special characters and then do texttt. And I
have extended the protection to include multiple hyphens by
converting
"--" to "-{}-".
Do you agree with this solution?

Aloha Carsten,
Yes, I do. Your patch works here for the use cases I had in mind.
I'm pleased that you were able to make the patch work for other use
cases as well. Also, I like having org-export-latex-use-verb default
to t instead of nil. It is nice to have the \verb command immediately
at hand.
Thanks for looking into this.
All the best,
Tom
