It seems I misunderstood the original question. There is an interesting issue here. I sometimes want to use ~ in a code snippet, so I can't use ~code snippet~. Yet, Org code: \verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@ Exported LaTeX: \verb@a\(_{\text{variable}}_{\text{deleteThisAndItWorks}}\)@ The exported LaTeX is not what we want. Instead, Org code: #+latex:\verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@ Alternative: @@latex:\verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@@@ Exported LaTeX: \verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@ I've wondered why \verb isn't exported correctly without specifying it as literal LaTeX, but I don't have the expertise to be able to determine why.
