*What* doesn't work?
Since you don't tell us, I tried exporting the following to latex and
html:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* foo
The person wanted to say *BSD.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
and it works fine in both cases (albeit in Org-mode version 8.2.6 (release_8.2.6-1122-g1d7c75)).
