Escaping a star ('*') in a heading with a backslash works (i.e. exports
to a literal '*') when exporting to PDF (via LaTeX; probably because
LaTeX then processes it), but not when exporting to HTML.

My situation is that I have a heading which refers to a (C) pointer
variable, *x, "* A note on the variable *x".  When I exported this to
HTML, everything under the heading appeared as part of the heading.  I
then tried to escape the star with a backslash ("\*"), which eliminated
the confusion with the heading and its body, but the backslash showed up
in the heading: "* A note on the variable \*x".  This is obviously not
what I want, I wanted the backslash to prevent the star from being
treated by Org as rich-text markup (i.e. *bold*), and to be removed from
the final product.

Regards,
Aidan Gauland
