Hi Aidan,

Escaping a star ('*') in a heading with a backslash works (i.e. exports
to a literal '*') when exporting to PDF (via LaTeX; probably because
LaTeX then processes it), but not when exporting to HTML.

My situation is that I have a heading which refers to a (C) pointer
variable, *x, "* A note on the variable *x".  When I exported this to
HTML, everything under the heading appeared as part of the heading.  I
then tried to escape the star with a backslash ("\*"), which eliminated the confusion with the heading and its body, but the backslash showed up
in the heading: "* A note on the variable \*x".  This is obviously not
what I want, I wanted the backslash to prevent the star from being
treated by Org as rich-text markup (i.e. *bold*), and to be removed from
the final product.

Can you please show us a complete, working (I mean non-working) example?
I tried to follow your instructions and could not reproduce the problem. Probably
you have another star further down in the text below the headline?
If this is the case, I think I have just fixed this issue.

However, *x is code, so you might want to write =*x= anyway to
get proper formatting and escaping of all special characters.
