Re: Latex export format control - emphasis and radio link

[Carsten Dominik <carsten.dominik@gmail.com>]

Hi Baptiste,

first of all, why don't you just use not-a-lint instead of not_a_link?
Using underscore sort-of asks for problems in this context.

Also, why do you want the links to be in typewriter font?  This is  
unusual.  Maybe instead of modifying org-emph-alist, you'd want to add  
to it and create a new emphasis with is texttt but not verbatim?

Finally,

> <<<other_radio_link>>>

it is indeed a bug that this is not exported with escaped underscores.
I have fixed this issue.
