I'd suggest there are 3 things that need to be addressed/fixed in org-mode. First, the table-parser should respect =...= sections and skip over them, just like a C preprocessor respects double-quoted string sections. Second, there should be a way to indicate verbatim sections that doesn't conflict with formula syntax. Finally, there should be a way (e.g. \x{...}) to stick in a character by ASCII/Unicode number. This would help with several issues when a literal character is intended but it conflicts with a markup character. -- Ken Williams Senior Research Scientist Thomson Reuters http://labs.thomsonreuters.com
