Hi Anders,

It=E2=80=99s important for LaTeX users to have a way to write =E2=80=9C/=E2=
=80=9D into the
output =E2=80=93 sometimes it might not possible to use a literal =E2=80=9C=
/=E2=80=9D in org,
because of the /emphasis/ markup.

It seems to me (as a user of both latex and html export) that most of
the time I want =E2=80=9C/=E2=80=9D in the output, regardless of backend.  =
Maybe (org=E2=80=99s)
\slash should retain its meaning, and there should be a new entity which
obeys your proposal.

It also seems like \slash in latex has some odd properties
wrt. hyphenation:
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/97310/slash-allows-for-hyphenation=
-of-only-the-word-on-its-left-how-to-fix-it-for-th>.
So maybe latex power users would rather write something more complicated
using the @@latex:\slash\hspace{0pt}@@ syntax.

Thanks,
