Thanks for letting me know about org-entities. That is awesome. I now know how to escape various characters in general, but unfortunately this does not work within verbatim formatting (which makes sense).Here's a minimum working example:=====* Escaping =equal= sign in verbatim formatting.=a\equal{}b+c=** Here's the same but using zero width spaces instead of /org entities/.=a=b+c=* Here I am trying to have double quotes in verbatim formatting.=\quot{}This is inbetween double quotes\quot{}=.** Here's the same but using zero width spaces instead of /org entities/.="This is inbetween double quotes"=.* And here's to escapes asterisksThis is *bold*. But this is \ast{}not bold\ast{}.This works!=====Here's what it looks like when exported: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10985/escape-chars.pdfOn Fri, Sep 18, 2015 at 9:48 PM Eric Abrahamsen <address@hidden> wrote:Kaushal Modi <address@hidden> writes:

Check out the variable `org-entities' for all the replaceable escape
codes. It's got quotes and equal!
