Hi all,

I’m finding that org source blocks are getting confused if their text 
contains org syntax. For example, in the text below, org considers all 
the lines beginning with asterisks in the text below to be org headers, 
and will fold them accordingly:

```
#+BEGIN_SRC text
This source block folds just fine
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC text
This source block doesn't fold properly because it contains an org 
headline
* See?
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(surely this problem doesnt apply in emacs-lisp mode)
* Does it?
** Sadly it does
  #+END_SRC

  #+BEGIN_QUOTE
  The problem also pertains to quotes
* as you can see
#+END_QUOTE

#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
And examples are no exception
* As you can see again
#+END_EXAMPLE
```

Since all these “headlines” occur inside source, quote, or example 
blocks, they shouldn’t be considered org headlines. In addition, the 
blocks that contain lines beginning with asterisks won’t fold 
properly.

I’m seeing this behavior in both 9.2.1 and 9.1.9. Are others seeing 
this? Please let me know if I can provide any further information!

Best,

Galen

you can escape those by putting a , in front of them. You may have to type
C-q , to get it put in if you see strange messages about user-error:
Priority must be between ‘A’ and ‘C’.

In fact org-mode will do that for you if you are in special edit mode when
you exit it. You may not be able to use C-c ' to get into this mode though
with the * in the block until you put , in front of them.

Ah, thanks — using C-c ' is a functional work around for most of my 
needs.

Still, is there no way to create a proper verbatim text block in org?

That is considered the proper way to do it as far as I know.
