ug. Sorry for the noise, the \Path in *%appdata%\Path\Path\Path* is getting
interpreted as latex fragments, which don't evaluate to anything I guess.
This doesn't happen consistently though, the \Paths get stripped from **,
// and __, but not from == and ~~. I am not sure if that is an
inconsistency. Does anyone know if there is a way to suppress recognizing
these kinds of latex without losing rendering of equations?

*%appdata%\Path\Path\Path*

/%appdata%\Path\Path\Path/

_%appdata%\Path\Path\Path_

=%appdata%\Path\Path\Path=

~%appdata%\Path\Path\Path~



* Code
 :noexport:
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((org-html-with-latex 'dvipng))
  (with-current-buffer (org-export-to-buffer 'html "*Formatted Copy*" nil
nil t t)
    (buffer-string)))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example
<p>
<b>%appdata%</b>
</p>

<p>
<i>%appdata%</i>
</p>

<p>
<span class="underline">%appdata%</span>
</p>


<p>
<code>%appdata%\Path\Path\Path</code>
</p>


<p>
<code>%appdata%\Path\Path\Path</code>
</p>
#+end_example
