Hello,

I would like to know how to make some sequence of characters to be
verbatim, ie that special characters lose their special meaning.

For instance in the following quote the first `-' will be interpreted as
a bullet point when exporting to HTML

#+begin_quote
  - this -
#+end_quote

So I tried this:

#+begin_quote
  ~-~ this -
#+end_quote

but then the first `-' is not in the same font as the second one, it
looks exaclty the same as if I had used the code =xxx= font
specfication.

I also tried this:

#+begin_quote
  \- this -
#+end_quote

I does not work (the first dash is not exported at all).

The same problem is for `[0]', how can you get this string not to be
interpreted as a footnote reference.

It should be possible to make the following type of things:

#+begin_verbatim
   [0]
#+end_verbatim

or  \verbatim{EOF}Hello - EOF

where EOF can be any string that is not found in the verbatim string. so

      \verbatim{.}Hello - .

would to the same as \verbatim{xxx}Hello - xxx.

In the same vein, it would be useful to have some \relax{} macro not
expanding to anything, this way _\relax{}  some underlining with
underlined leading spaces_ would work.

BR,
   Vincent.
