Hi!
I have a section in a document where I have to specify some DOS file paths (yes, I /know/...).
Unfortunately, I have other stuff in the document that uses these options:
#+OPTIONS: H:3 num:t toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:nil -:t f:t *:t TeX:t LaTeX:nil skip:t d:nil tags:not-in-toc
Is there any way I can "escape" the backslashes so they will show up correctly
in the final pdf? I tried the standard trick of doubling the backslashes, and
that worked about as well as you might expect...
Sample text:
**** Global Paths
Paths are specified using a
*Paths* object. Affected fields *shall* accept the
specification of either a single path
(e.g. @N:\bacon\cheeseburger\no\tomato@) or a semicolon separated
search path specification
(e.g. @N:\bacon\cheeseburger\no\tomato;N:\chicken\sandwich\@).

OK, I feel very silly... Blame it on switching back and forth from org-mode to textile.
The \textbackslash escape works reasonably well in plain text. However, if I had
used the appropriate "~" instead of "@" to highlight the paths, it would have exported
correctly.
So, I needed to change this:
(e.g. @N:\bacon\cheeseburger\no\tomato@) or a semicolon separated
to this:
(e.g. ~N:\bacon\cheeseburger\no\tomato~) or a semicolon separated
And everything works well.
Thanks!
