It seems I misunderstood the original question.
There is an interesting issue here. I sometimes want to use ~ in a code
snippet, so I can't use ~code snippet~. Yet,
Org code: \verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@
Exported LaTeX: \verb@a\(_{\text{variable}}_{\text{deleteThisAndItWorks}}\)@
The exported LaTeX is not what we want. Instead,
Org code: #+latex:\verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@
Alternative: @@latex:\verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@@@
Exported LaTeX: \verb@a_variable_deleteThisAndItWorks@
I've wondered why \verb isn't exported correctly without specifying it
as literal LaTeX, but I don't have the expertise to be able to determine
why.
