The only other thing that works today that I'm aware of is you surround your text with equal signs as in =3D[0]=3D but this also probably doesn't do exactly what you want for both LaTeX and HTML export. This uses \texttt in LaTeX and ... in HTML. In HTML you're free to defined CSS for the block but you won't end up with a verbatim block in LaTeX. I proposed the two previous examples because preceeding the text with ': ' creates a \begin{verbatim} block in LaTeX. If you document is targeted only for LaTeX export then you can use LaTeX macros directly in the source. Regards, Bernt
