Hi Eric,
Thanks for answering :-) I'm currently solving the issue with
#+BEGIN_export LaTeX
\begin{verbatim}[commandchars=\\\{\}]
student@juju:~$ \textbf{sudo bootstrap-juju.sh}
\end{verbatim}
#+END_export
What I was wondering is whether we could have something like:
#+ATTR_LATEX :raw t :attributes [commandchars=\\\{\}]
#+BEGIN_verbatim
student@juju:~$ \textbf{sudo bootstrap-juju.sh}
#+END_verbatim
With that ":raw t" the text between the BEGIN_ and END_ would not go through the protecttexttt function. (of course, without the :raw t everything would work as today).
Again, it's just because it would be a cleaner to read. I have an yasnippet in place, so it wouldn't actually mean more or less typing.
Best, /PA
