You haven't actually said why you can't just write
/fuzzywuzzywuzzabear/, but presumably there's some reason that won't
work. You might consider literal export snippets, though then you'd need
to target each different backend you're exporting to. So you could do:

@@html:<emph>@@fuzzywuzzywuzzabear@@html:</emph>@@

For instance. Is that what you meant?
