Here's the MWE once again with proper indication ([ZWS]) of where you need
to insert the zero width space char.
=====
* Escaping =equal= sign in verbatim formatting.
=a\equal{}b+c=
** Here's the same but using zero width spaces instead of /org entities/.
=a=[ZWS]b+c=
* Here I am trying to have double quotes in verbatim formatting.
=\quot{}This is inbetween double quotes\quot{}=.
** Here's the same but using zero width spaces instead of /org entities/.
=[ZWS]"This is inbetween double quotes"[ZWS]=.
* And here's to escapes asterisks
This is *bold*. But this is \ast{}not bold\ast{}.
This works!
=====
