How to export =\'= as a table entry in latex

How to export =\'= as a table entry in latex

[zwz]

Those days when I was preparing a presentation about the special chars
that starts with a =\= in C programming language, I made such a table

| \' | signle quote |
| \" | double quote |

It did not work after I hit C-c C-e p.

So I modified it as 
| =\'= | signle quote |
| =\"= | double quote |

Still it did not produce the right thing.

Does anyone have a workaround?

what about 

| \backslash ' | quote |
| \setminus "  | double |

choose the one that suits you better.

cheers,

This was at first puzzling, because you did exactly the right thing.

The reason why it is not working is that quotes cannot be last
in an emphasis string.  I do not remember the reason for this
I am sure there was one at some point.

What you can do is this:  Customize the variable org-emphasis-regexp- 
components and remove

   \"

and

   '

from the third element in that variable.

The your second version above should work.

Thanks for your instructions.
And yes, it puzzled me a lot.
Maybe there should be an easier workaround, e.g. by #+OPTIONS.
