The manual says: Emphasis and monospace ---------------------- =20=20=20 You can make words *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_, `=3Dcode=3D' and `~verbatim~', and, if you must, `+strike-through+'. Text in the code and verbatim string is not processed for Org mode specific syntax; it is exported verbatim. Is there any functional (or semantic?) difference between =3Dcode=3D and ~verbatim~? Could I use any to avoid escaping problems of the other? (A bit like ' versus " in some languages?) Fran=C3=A7ois
