Hi all:
If I write some string like "__aaa_cc__" in org file,then publish it to pdf using latex,
it will failed and the output is wrong.
even I can use ~__aaa_cc__~, it's not a good way do it.
Can you fix it or I am wrong?

By default, underscores indicate subscripts (a tradition that comes from
LaTeX syntax - similarly, carets indicate superscripts). If you don't
want that, you can add
#+OPTIONS: ^:nil
at the top of the file: this option disables superscripts and subscripts.
See
(info "(org) Export options")

Hi Nick:
I had added the option to my org file.
What I want to ensure is that this is maybe a bug of emacs org mode.
I know "_a string_" will try to convert to underline string in latex,
by emacs variable org-export-latex-emphasis-alist.
Maybe this is why it is translated into wrong latex codes.

Why is it wrong LaTeX code? You're asking Org to put an underline there,
and there you have.
Nevertheless, I think it would be useful to have an entity for
underscore character. Something like:
("us" "\\_" nil "_" "_" "_" "_")

Ah, OK - the problem is that no matter how the option is set, the output
still leads to latex errors and no PDF is produced (at least with the
old exporter - I haven't tried with ngz's new one, but that woule be a
good experiment to try).
Now that I've tried it, I think you are right: it is a bug in the old
exporter, in that it should produce legal latex either way.

The old exporter latex output doesn't compile.
I tried the new exporter does it correctly, with either setting of the option.

Ah ok, I only tried with the experimental one.

The new one exports "__aaa_b__" as "\underline{\underline{aaa$_b$}}".
I think the OP wants a verbatim "\_\_aaa\_b\_\_" instead.
Hence my underscore suggestion, which would also solve the UNDER_LINE
problem without resorting to (unsupported) tricks like UNDER\_LINE.

That can be done with ~__aaa_b__~ though.

Yes, but I assume that aaa could also contain other Org syntax, like an
entity.
So "__a\alpha{}a_b__" is still a problem.
