Dear org-mode list,

Quick and easy question:

I want to make a document that has a table where one column has
variables and another column has descriptions.

E.g.

| VAR NAMES | DESC                   |
|-----------+------------------------|
| =var1=    | this is the first var  |
| =var2=    | this is the second var |
|           |                        |
|-----------+------------------------|

However, pressing [TAB] after writing =var1= causes #ERROR to show up.
How do I make this work the way I am intending? :)

Thanks,
Stephen

| VAR NAMES | DESC                   |
|-----------+------------------------|
| ~var1~    | this is the first var  |
| ~var2~    | this is the second var |
|           |                        |
|-----------+------------------------|

Interesting, thanks.  The manual says:

   Emphasis and monospace
   ----------------------
   
   You can make words *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_, `=code=' and
   `~verbatim~', and, if you must, `+strike-through+'.  Text in the code
   and verbatim string is not processed for Org mode specific syntax; it
   is exported verbatim.

Is there any functional (or semantic?) difference between =code= and
~verbatim~?  Could I use any to avoid escaping problems of the other?
(A bit like ' versus " in some languages?)

For the current LaTeX exporter, Yes.

  This is =co%de=.
  This is ~verb%atim~.

gets exported as

  This is \texttt{co\%de}.
  This is \verb~verb%atim~.

HTH,

Just for the records. This issue has been resolved in the meantime with:

commit 8342fdb70aa28edbb7b0b18bf1f3c0fd2dd561fa
Author: Bastien Guerry <bzg@altern.org>
Date:   Tue May 1 02:03:12 2012 +0200

It was also on my list of someday/maybe...
