Hi Sebastien,

If this is the problem, would a simpler solution be to remove ~ (and other
special characters, like #^_$) from =E2=80=98org-latex--find-verb-separator=
=E2=80=99?

But as Nick points out, the problem with \verb is probably deeper.  The
protectedtexttt case in ox-latex already implements the suggestion from
the thread he linked.  Perhaps the solution is to change the code entry
in =E2=80=98org-latex-text-markup-alist=E2=80=99 to use protectedtexttt and=
 drop the
verb case entirely from =E2=80=98org-latex--text-markup=E2=80=99.  What do =
you think?

Thanks,
