Dear org-mode list,
Quick and easy question:
I want to make a document that has a table where one column has
variables and another column has descriptions.
E.g.
| VAR NAMES | DESC |
|-----------+------------------------|
| =var1= | this is the first var |
| =var2= | this is the second var |
| | |
|-----------+------------------------|
However, pressing [TAB] after writing =var1= causes #ERROR to show up.
How do I make this work the way I am intending? :)
Thanks,
Stephen

| VAR NAMES | DESC |
|-----------+------------------------|
| ~var1~ | this is the first var |
| ~var2~ | this is the second var |
| | |
|-----------+------------------------|

Interesting, thanks. The manual says:
Emphasis and monospace
----------------------
You can make words *bold*, /italic/, _underlined_, `=code=' and
`~verbatim~', and, if you must, `+strike-through+'. Text in the code
and verbatim string is not processed for Org mode specific syntax; it
is exported verbatim.
Is there any functional (or semantic?) difference between =code= and
~verbatim~? Could I use any to avoid escaping problems of the other?
(A bit like ' versus " in some languages?)

For the current LaTeX exporter, Yes.

This is =co%de=.
This is ~verb%atim~.
gets exported as
This is \texttt{co\%de}.
This is \verb~verb%atim~.
