The problem is that that produces: \texttt{<<<} \ldots{} \texttt{>>>} and then latex joins the first << and the first >> together, which is really ugly. My document is already LaTeX specific, but if I'm able replace more latex with org mode, I should consider a later edition of the tex produced to keep it backend-independent. Not critical for this document, but it is always cool to be able to export to different formats. Thank you for the suggestion, anyway.
